Jon Hamm’s Alleged Torture at University That Ruined Mark Allen Sanders’s Life: Jon Hamm’s Response

In 1990, before Jon Hamm became famous for playing Don Draper in Mad Men, he was a college student at the University of Texas at Austin. During that time, he was involved in a reported troubling hazing incident in his fraternity that severely impacted a freshman named Mark Allen Sanders.
The allegations, which have come up again in 2015, 2018, and now in 2025, describe Hamm as a key player in a harsh Sigma Nu fraternity ritual that included beatings, humiliation, and even setting Sanders’ pants on fire. As a result, Sanders left the university, the fraternity was shut down, and Hamm faced legal charges.
How has Hamm reacted to these accusations over time, and what does this mean for his reputation?
