Naquin spoke during the hearing, offering condolences to the family and describing hazing as a \"bad\" and \"dangerous\" tradition that must be stopped.

\"This whole process has been quite the journey,\" Naquin said, WBRZ reported. \"I am no doubt a different man than the boy that stood at this podium and declared not guilty.\"

Gruver's mother, Rae Ann Gruver, told reporters after the sentencing hearing that Naquin's statement had \"no remorse.\"

\"He does not take any accountability for killing our son,\" she said. \"I think it was clearly obvious.\"

Stephan Gruver said the family has traveled to more than 100 universities to speak to the sororities and fraternities about the dangers of hazing.

\"We got to talk about it,\" Stephan Gruver said. \"People who understand what it is and the hazing need to understand that they believe they're in control, but they're not in control.\"

He continued, \"A situation like [what] happened to our son is proof that the hazers are not in control of what they're doing.\"

In total, four fraternity members, including Naquin, were charged in the wake of Gruver's death, but Naquin was the only one charged with felony negligent homicide.

Sean-Paul Gott, 22, and Ryan Isto, 20, were sentenced to 30 days in jail in July on hazing charges but each served two weeks before they were released, according to WBRZ. Patrick Andrew Forde, 22, who testified as a witness for the prosecution at Naquin's trial, has not yet been prosecuted for the hazing charge against him.

In July, prosecutors also charged Naquin with obstruction of justice for allegedly deleting 700 photos and texts pertaining to the case on the same day a judge approved a search warrant, which included a search on his phone. Naquin has pleaded not guilty to that charge.

Naquin's attorney did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.
