Two former members accused of hazing alleged that they were not given the required due process in their inappropriate dismissal from the organization.  An actual lawsuit was not filed in the matter. A claim was submitted and the insurance carrier assigned defense counsel who worked with the claimants’ attorney to prove to him that the members were given due process and the termination of membership was appropriate. The claimant’s attorney eventually dropped the claim. However, the insurance company paid over $5,000 in defense costs.
