4000 Days (2026)

Three families shattered by fraternity hazing—Gary and Julie DeVercelly, Linda and Eric Oakes, and TJ and Kim Burch—transformed their devastating losses into a relentless crusade for justice. When their sons died at the hands of a secretive, stonewalling system fueled by denial and silence, they refused to let those tragedies be forgotten. Uniting their grief and grit, they waged a multi-year war to unmask hazing’s hidden horrors, force universities and fraternities to answer for their failures, and ignite a wave of legislative change that would ripple across the nation.
