In September of 2014, 19-year-old Tucker Hipps was a sophomore who was pledging the Beta Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon known as SigEp at Clemson University in Clemson, South Carolina. On Monday, September 22, 2014, the fraternity was participating in a pre-dawn pledge run that ended in Tucker’s death. Allison tells us the rest of Tucker's story.
