Summary - Eight members of a Penn State Fraternity are charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of a student after a night of heavy drinking, the local district attorney's office said. 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 was posted in a video by CNN 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.

I had heard this story on Twitter! Hopefully this is a wake up call to the horrific side of fraternities!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Abbey! This is horrifying, and people need to learn from this to avoid situations similar to this in the future.
ReplyDeleteI wrote about this topic as well and i think that it is awful that out of all the people that were involved not a single one called for an ambulance.
ReplyDeleteThat's horrible! We need to have more gun and alcohol policies.
