A mother whose college basketball star daughter committed suicide in 2017 is blaming the death of her child on sorority hazing.
Felicia Hankins' 19-year-old daughter, Jordan Hankins, was found dead in her Northwestern University dorm room in January 2017. A coroner ruled that the women's basketball team guard had committed suicide by hanging.
Just a couple days before the anniversary of Jordan's death, Felicia has filed a 50-page complaint in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on Tuesday, naming Northwestern University's chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority as well as 11 others as defendants as having contributed to Jordan's death, the Daily Northwestern reported.
Northwestern University basketball star Jordan Hankins' mother, Felicia Hankins, has filed a complaint against a sorority and 11 others in the wake of Jordan's 2017 suicide
Felicia (right) claims that the hazing Jordan experienced while pledging at for Northwestern's chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha left her with severe anxiety and depression
Felicia's complaint including counts of negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The complaint claims that hazing that Jordan experienced while pledging for Alpha Kappa Alpha resulted in her experiencing severe anxiety and depression, which came into play when she took her own life.
Among the things that Jordan experienced, Felicia claims, are physical and emotional abuse, sleep deprivation and financial exploitation.
The complaint states that the AKA sorority and the 11 others — including students and advisors at the time of Jordan's death — should have recognized that the hazing Jordan experienced was 'extreme, outrageous and unlawful.'
Felicia's complaint states that the defendants had been told that Jordan was mentally unstable and suicidal in the wake of the hazing and that it was 'foreseeable' that she would commit suicide.
Jordan was a guard on Northwestern's women's basketball team. She was found dead in her dorm room in January 2017 from suicide, according to the coroner

According to the family's lawyer said in a statement to ABC Chicago that, 'Despite repeated warnings that the hazing was triggering Hankins' anxiety and depression, we allege that AKA failed to take action to stop the abuse, resulting in Hankins taking her own life. It is critical that we hold the sorority and the individuals who were personally involved accountable — and to eliminate these dangerous and deadly rituals before another tragedy occurs.'
Northwestern University suspended AKA from campus from May 2016 to Fall 2019, according to a university official, meaning the sorority was prohibited from recruiting or hosting events.
But, Felicia's complaint states that her daughter was hazed in late 2016 — when the sorority was suspended.
A Northwestern spokesperson said that the university was aware of Felicia's complaint and that it 'Northwestern remains deeply saddened by the death of Jordan Hankins two years ago, and we continue to send our kindest thoughts and condolences to her friends and family.
The spokesperson also confirmed that AKA 'has been and continues to be suspended from the University.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
