Rae Ann Gruver of The Max Gruver Foundation: using grief to be a fierce changer against hazingIn 2017, Max Gruver began as a freshman at Louisiana State University. He, along with his parents, was full of hope and excitement.
From Georgia, his parents heard about his first weeks away at school which included pledging at various fraternities. They never anticipated that on September 17th they would receive a call that would change their lives forever. Max had died at LSU from a hazing event held at Phi Delta Theta house. In her grief, Rae Ann Gruver new that something needed to change so that no one else would die the way that her son Max did. Her family created The Max Gruver Foundation to abolish hazing on campuses, to educate young people on the risks associated with it and to change laws state by state. I spoke with Rae Ann about this purpose, becoming a changer, and where her resilience comes from? |
