CHICAGO – Four fraternity brothers charged in the felony hazing death of a Northern Illinois University freshman are scheduled to make their first court appearances Friday in Sycamore.

Alexander Jandick, Omar Salameh, Steven Libert and James Harvey were each charged with a felony last month following the death of freshman David Bogenberger.

Bogenberger, a 19-year-old finance major from Palatine, died of alcohol-induced heart trouble at NIU’s Pi Kappa Alpha chapter house after a night of heavy drinking during an initiation party.
