CBS News Grieving parents tell the stories of children lost to hazing For Rae Ann Gruver and Evelyn Piazza, Mother's Day has never been the same since 2017. Because that's the year they lost their sons, Timothy Piazza and Max Gruver. Both were away at college – Timothy at Penn State, Max at Louisiana State. Both had pledged fraternities, and both were hazed. What happened to their sons often becomes a topic of conversation on college campuses, like at the University of Pittsburgh last year, where Evelyn and Rae Ann told their stories to a room filled with kids who would have been their sons' peers.
