BOSTON —

Phi Gamma Delta was charged with one count each of manslaughter and hazing. No charges were brought against individual members, Dist. Atty. Ralph Martin said.
Scott Krueger, 18, who had recently arrived at MIT from Orchard Park, N.Y., died Sept. 29 after drinking at the fraternity house, which was later closed.
