gray breidenbach- 8 students charged in Penn State hazing death

Eight members of a Penn State Fraternity are charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of a student after a night of heavy drinking.  Timothy Piazza died after he was injured while pledging the Beta Theta fraternity.  The cause of death was traumatic brain injury that resulted from several falls.  His blood alcohol content was between .26 and .36 the night he died.  Beta Theta Pi was also charged with 50 counts of hazing, 48 counts of providing alcohol to minors and 48 other alcohol related counts.  Penn State permanently banned the fraternity from operating the chapter on campus.

Analysis - This article is  about the tragic event that took a young mans life because of the hazing from the fraternity.  This should act as a wake up call to everyone of the dangers of binge drinking and all the lives that can be ruined in one night.Its not fair to the family nor the child to pass in those circumstances

  1. Those parties are much more sinister than they appear. More action should be taken to protect students from the dangers they pose.
