The Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office has declined to accept charges for seven of the 10 Tulane fraternity brothers involved in a hazing incident.

The decision if charges will be accepted for the other four men should be made tomorrow.

The charges have been cleared for the following: Joseph Lorono, Nicholas Maddern, Kevin Dunn, Jeremy Bendat, Danny Lazzeri, William Doughtery and Graham Carron.

It seems likely that charges would be rejected for the remaining three men as well.

10 members of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity at Tulane were arrested in May and charged with second degree battery in connection with the incident.

The victims said the fraternity members were playing a game of chicken, pouring a boiling liquid over their bodies to see who could withstand the pain the longest. They said that they were severely burned in the incident.

Tulane responded by kicking the group off of the campus, and the national organization suspended its charter.

The hearing is set for 10 a.m. in Orleans Parish Criminal Court.

A spokeswoman for the District Attorney’s Office declined to speak, citing the pending case of the remaining suspects as the office’s reason.

A lawyer for Matthew Martin, one of the alleged victims in the case, declined to comment on prosecutors' refusal to proceed with criminal charges. Martin is suing the fraternity and several of its members in federal court.

In court papers, lawyers for Martin say their client and other pledges were participating in a "Hell Night" initiation and only were wearing shorts and shoes when they were scalded with boiling water and pelted with raw eggs.
