In an interview earlier this year, Grant denied paddling or spanking prospective members. Then he told a Virginian-Pilot reporter to stop asking questions. When he was then asked if there was a history of hazing at the Tau Lambda chapter, he hung up. On Tuesday, Grant said in a text that there was "no story" to the hazing allegations, but declined to comment further. Grant said he graduated from ODU in December with a degree in marketing and communications.
