After years of failure in Congress, President Biden earlier this week signed into law the country's first anti-hazing legislation stemming from the death of a rider university student that drew national attention more than ten years ago after he died from hazing during a fraternity initiation.

The new law will boost transparency and accountability on college campuses by disclosing to parents and students any hazing incidents that have been reported to authorities and require schools to adopt stronger anti-hazing policies.

The family of Gary Dever Kelly has been fighting for the law since 2007 after the 18 year old freshman died from drinking nearly an entire bottle of vodka as part of a fire capital initiation ritual.

The family won a lawsuit against Rider University and two of its employees over the incident.

One student was sentenced to three years probation after pleading guilty to hazing, But the tragedies continued.

More recently, a 100 and county student pledging for a Penn State fraternity died during a 2017 hazing incident.

Advocates are hoping the new law will keep more college kids safe.
