<p>Death</a> on Carnegie Mellon University campus at... | Gather</p>
<p>Wow, that is really terrible. Any word on what frat that was? Hope this doesnt mean the end of frats at CMU</p>
<p>Since he was only 22 I think drugs or alcohol was the cause of death cuz they said foul play was not involved. I wonder what the consequences will be for the frat…</p>
<p>a google search will tell you which one it was. there is a good possibility it will mean the end for that specific one, but i doubt it will mean much for the other greek organizations other than hopefully increased responsibility and accountability</p>
<p>I heard the frat’s getting dechartered. Which is a twisted kind of irony since that’s the one frat everyone loves to hate. I still feel bad for them, though-- they didn’t deserve this happening in their house.</p>
<p>Nobody wants them to go… not their Greek Sing partners, and not their buggy rivals. 3 fraternities gone in a year is a huge blow, but the fact that something like this did happen is a huge gut check for everybody on the quad, and throughout campus really. A lot of people have had bad nights themselves, or know people who have, and it you really have to take a step back and wonder how close those cases actually pushed it to something as tragic as this death. </p>
<p>However, at the end of the day college students who want to drink are going to find a way to do so regardless of whether they are in a fraternity, and as such incidents like this will continue to occur with or without this specific frat losing its charter. Still, the fact can’t be ignored that there was an underage drinking death in the house-- so there is no choice but to pin the blame on them.</p>
<p>I agree with completelykate in that I can’t help but feel bad. Taken in perspective, the majority of the fraternity was gone on spring break, and it was only a small minority still in the house that blew it.</p>
<p>My sympathies and prayers to the friends and family of the victim.</p>
