Sad image

It is so sad when an event like this happens and gives such a horrible image to the fraternity system. SAE has a history of this kind of activity in the last few years, and has been on probation twice in the last 18 months or so. Unfortunately, it was almost inevitable. But don't let a few irresponsible people from one organization taint your view of every social fraternity...

it was hazing

he and a bunch of other pleges were put in the garage with a bunch of alcohol, tequila, vodka, wine, grain alcohol and were told they had to drink it all. a large tub was also there for them to throw up in.

they drank all of the alcohol. i'm talking bottles and bottles.

someone found him unresponsive later and they drove him to the hospital. he woke up on the ride there for a little bit so they turned around and took him back hoping he would sleep it off. obviously he didn't

everyone in that frat is "lawyering up now"

She was a he. Wake up and read the article more closely before you post an ignorant comment.

ahhhhhhhhhhhh

well just cause she was found tht way doesnt meen it was hazing. She could have just gotton to drunk at a party

Nothing like a comprehensive search warrant to wake up the supposed untouchables who live at a frat house. Wait til they see the lawyers' interrogatories in the wrongful death suit.

Social fraternities cannot be sued out of existence soon enough.
