A university spokesman said the pause was due to the death of Caleb Wilson, 20, a junior from Kenner studying mechanical engineering.

A Southern University student had died during an off-campus incident. According to local news station WAFB 9, Caleb Wilson collapsed while participating as a pledge member in an alleged ritual for the Omega Psi Phi fraternity at the North Sherwood Forest Community Park in Baton Rouge,

"The loss of Caleb has left an unimaginable void in our hearts, but your kindness and compassion have provided some solace," the family said in a statement.
