Death at UMass fraternity
 

I'm sure it'll hit the media within the next day or so, so it's worth posting about. A sophomore died of a drug overdose Saturday night at the Phi Sigma Kappa Alpha chapter at UMass. There's been no word on exactly who he was- they've been keeping his name confidential until his parents are notified.

I don't even know what to think.

Think twice before taking drugs. As long as they're in our culture, there will be accidental OD's. And, obviously, it's not just a Greek problem, so let's not get hung up on that.

Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity - PiKapp UMass
 

Since its inception, Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity at UMass has been working hard to change the negative stigma surrounding the word "fraternity" or "frat" here at UMass. On campus, around the community, and out in the world, our men represent our brotherhood with pride, honor, and class. Learn about our charity work at www.pikappumass.com

Beat me to it :p

Aw c'mon -- at least he did a search! :p

He clearly looked for a reference to UMass so that he could tell us about his chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, which is on a mission to change the negative stereotypes associated with fraternities or frats.

Just wish he'd told us a little more about his chapter -- like how to find them on the web. But at least he did a search.

I think he may have been googlebombing.

You may be right. Amazing how often GC pops up at the top of Google searches on Greek-related topics.

Amazing since UMass has been known as anti Greek, there is a new regeim that is beleiveing in GLOs. How do I know this? Because I have contacted them.

I am glad for them and us as GLOs.

If you saw my post on expansion, LXA was one of them which was our original Chapter. But, it will not happen for a year or two.:(

And I am sure they were thrilled with your input.

Lay off...

And what's so bad about it anyway? Doesn't seem so bad.

I'm glad to know this has a name. It's really annoying.
