First there was an update on frat life there:
[M]ultiple individuals reported they were drugged at an AEPi house event, and according to the Saturday notice, another individual reported they were drugged at an SAE house event… The University suspended [SAE] in April 2017 after a report that four women were drugged at the house that January. Despite the report, the chapter faced no disciplinary action from NU, and returned to campus on probation in 2018 after completing a one-year suspension.
That’s from a 2021 article about a large student demonstration in front of SAE, along with calls to shut down NU’s long-lurid Greek system.
Most recently, there are the school’s closely-associated sports teams:
A former Northwestern player said the alleged hazing acts that took place within the football program were “egregious and vile and inhumane behavior.” …
If a player was selected for “running,” … they would be restrained by a group of 8-10 upperclassmen dressed in various “Purge-like” masks, who would then begin “dry-humping” the victim in a dark locker room...
[A] Daily Northwestern article also mentioned other allegations of hazing rituals, including a practice where freshmen had to duplicate a snap from the center to the quarterback while both players were naked. It also cited a second player who noted the existence of the ritual.

Stephen : Yes. It was just a matter of whether I add baseball to the same post or hold off a bit and put THAT scandal in a separate post. I opted for separate.
The fun never stops.
