Description:	I n September 2002 police officers in Playa del Rey, California pulled two college students to shore from the Pacific Ocean. Police attributed the deaths of Kenitha Saafir, 24, of Compton, and Kristin High, 22, of Los Angeles, to their inability to swim back to shore after being caught in a powerful undercurrent. No one could explain exactly why the women had been in the water in the first place. Within a month after the young ladies’ deaths, High’s family filed a $100-million lawsuit against Alpha Kappa Alpha, the nation’s oldest black Greek-letter sorority. The suit alleged that Saafir and High had died in a hazing ritual gone awry while trying to join the sorority.
