HANOVER — A Dartmouth College alumnus has paid a fine in connection with his role in the hazing of a Dartmouth undergraduate at a college fraternity 13 months ago.
Milan Williams, 38, of Los Angeles, pleaded no contest to a charge of student hazing, on Sept. 15 and paid a $1,116 fine, according to court records.
Williams, a 2009 Dartmouth graduate, was one of three men charged with hazing a 20-year-old sophomore who was pledging to join the Omega Psi Phi fraternity in 2024.
The student reported that he had been paddled with a wooden paddle multiple times on the buttocks, which left visible injuries, and after being forced to eat a raw onion was pressed to eat the regurgitated onion he had thrown up during initiation rites for pledges, according to police and court documents.
A second Dartmouth student, Alexisius “Q.” Jones, who at the time was a senior and member of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity, pleaded guilty to a violation-level offense of failing to report student hazing and was fined $1,000 plus $240 for a statutory penalty assessment in June, according to court records.
The case of a third individual charged in the hazing incident, Gregory Dominique, 39, remains pending. Dominique, of Boston, has no known ties to Dartmouth.
In the aftermath of the hazing incident Omega Psi Phi was found in violation of the college’s Greek life policies and suspended for three years. The fraternity “is not eligible to resume operations at Dartmouth until winter term 2028,” according to the college.
A no-trespass notice ordering Williams to stay off the Dartmouth campus remains in effect, a college spokesperson said.
