Her death was linked to hazing activities associated with her sorority, Kappa Phi Alpha. After her death, her family and friends created the Gracie LeAnn Dimit Memorial Foundation to honor the life of Gracie. The family filed a lawsuit which alleges that Gracie participated in several hazing rituals that included physical beatings and being zip-tied. .
