MANILA, Philippines — One of the fraternity members linked in an alleged hazing incident at the University of the Philippines – Diliman has died, the university’s Office of the Chancellor said Sunday.
The office of the Chancellor called on its students, faculty, and staff to stop posting and forwarding social media messages related to the death of the Sigma Rho Fraternity member.
“Let us do this out of sense of decency and respect for the privacy of the family,” the Office of the Chancellor said in a statement.
“Sensationalism is itself a form [of] violent assault , and is not the solution to the fraternity culture of violence,” it added.
