SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — The family accusing a San Diego State University fraternity of nearly killing their freshman teen during a night of hazing has spoken publicly about the lawsuit they filed on Friday.
In an interview with Good Morning America, the Brennan family said their lives were changed forever two years ago.
The Kappa Sigma fraternity and nine of its members are listed as defendants in the lawsuit.
Kaitlin Brennan, Benjamin's sister, said her brother was everyone's favorite guy before the incident.
"He lit up a room. Now it feels like we're getting to know a new Ben," she said.
According to the lawsuit, when Benjamin Brennan was pledging the fraternity in 2021, members forced him to consume drugs and hard alcohol in amounts that would literally kill most people.
San Diego State said it expelled the Kappa Sigma fraternity from its campus last year.
"There was a 750ml bottle of Captain Morgan rum. He was instructed, he was commanded, to drink it all, and they provided tobacco and marijuana, and he was supposed to consume that as well," James P. Frantz, the lawyer representing the family, said.
The lawsuit alleges that a fraternity member then drove Brennan to a nearby hospital, and then dumped his lifeless body while trying to avoid responsibility.
"These boys just abandoned their brother and left him for dead," Lindsay Gibson, Benjamin's mother, said. "That's not brotherhood."
The 19-year-old was in a coma, and two years later, Benjamin is still recovering.
"He can't work, and we don't know if they'll be able to. He can't go back to school now. All those types of damages and all the emotional distress damages, he's going to suffer," Frantz said.
The Brennans said Benjamin faces an uncertain future.
"Greek life is a big part of college experience. But I want to caution families to have a long, thoughtful, serious conversation before your sons join that type of community, because you might think 'Oh, not my son. My son's too smart.' And that's exactly what I told myself. And I'm lucky that he's alive," Gibson said.
The university itself is not named in the lawsuit.
Brennan's attorneys said police investigated, and the case has been turned over to the district attorney for review.
10News has previously reached out to Kappa Sigma for comment, but our newsroom has not received a response as of Sunday night.

I was blessed yesterday while out hiking and foraging to still find elderflowers. The elderflowers themselves bloom from early May till almost August .They are creamy white tiny flowers that form in clusters called crowns. They have a sweet floral euphoric scent. It’s important to consider that elderflowers turn into elderberries, so taking them will mean fewer berries on the tree. I try and only take as few flowers from each tree if possible. Whenever wildcrafting it’s essential to ask permission before harvesting the plant and trust your intuitive knowing. According to folklore, this is especially important with Elder! Depending on the size of the elderflowers you collect, you will need enough whole flower heads to fill a quart jar for this liqueur recipe. Although it’s a bit labor intensive, it’s important to cut the flowers off with as little stem as possible attached. This is because the stems contain a toxic compound and can cause stomach upset in large amounts in some people. Fill a quart jar with the elderflowers, leaving an inch or two of space at the top. Pour a 750ml bottle of vodka over the elderflowers, enough to keep the flowers submerged under the vodka. Cover the jar with a lid and put it in a cool and dark place to infuse for 2-4 weeks. Strain out the elderflowers with a fine mesh strainer, then add 1/4 to 1/2 cup honey or sugar and stir well or shake to combine. Time to enjoy your summery goodness in sparkling water or champagne or cocktails. Shamans and medicine people worldwide believed elder was a healing plant and commonly used it for upper respiratory ailments and topically for skin problems. Traditionally, our herbalist elders, such as Hippocrates, Dioscorides, and Pliney the Elder recognized its strength as a diuretic, diaphoretic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial. 🌼🌼🌼 https://www.instagram.com/p/CSRxhK3HZav/?utm_medium=tumblr
