Ex-Missouri Fraternity Member Pleads Guilty in Hazing Case Resulting in Severe Injuries

Ryan Delanty faces jail time and house arrest for his role in an incident that left freshman Danny Santulli blind and paralyzed.

Ryan Delanty pleaded guilty to supplying liquor to a minor and misdemeanor hazing.
The hazing incident at Phi Gamma Delta fraternity in 2021 caused Santulli severe brain damage due to alcohol poisoning.
Prosecutors recommend a six-month jail sentence followed by six months of house arrest for Delanty.
The fraternity chapter was shut down, and a civil lawsuit was settled for an unspecified amount in 2022.
Another fraternity member, Thomas Shultz, received a 30-day jail sentence and probation for his involvement.
