A Sad Day

Two FIU students (members of Pi Kappa Phi and Phi Sigma Sigma) passed away this weekend.

It is a sad day in Miami.....

:(

Both were outstanding members of their organizations, and well known and loved on campus.
Tony was president of his chapter, and Janelle was Freshman of the year in 2003.

A sister of mine was one of his best friends...

There was a candlelight vigil held this weekend...

They will both be missed.

This is so sad to hear about two up and coming members of The Greek Community.:(

I am sure all of us can think back about times that We did the same thing.

It just goes to prove, you must be careful!

The greek community is united at FIU, especially in the face of tradgedy. Today all over campus, organizations wore letters and black ribbons in memory of those lost.
There was alot of hugging and alot of banding together today in the student union.

That is so terrible. A few weeks ago an entire family in NYC died from carbon monoxide poisoning. What a tragedy. :(

Shadokat,

the Herald article stated that the van had a poor exhaust system which caused the carbon monoxide poisioning. From what I can figure they were probably idling the car for a while and the exhaust got in to the van. Kindof like they tell you if you get stuck in a snow drift to not turn on the car for heat - the exhaust will get in the car.

Please everyone if you have an older or poorly maintained car, get your exhaust system checked so another tragedy is avoided.

My thoughts and prayers are with my Florida sisters and the brothers of the fraternity.

Carolyn
