Three Hospitalized (Alcohol) at U of Central Florida
Police responding to a tip about a fraternity party found three students so drunk that they had to be hospitalized. Please note that although the news story alludes to possible "hazing," it also indicates that it's not known if the students were pledges. Apparently it's not known whether the students were old enough to drink legally. Consequently I think the wording of the article could have been a lot better. Still, an instance of get-them-to-the-hospital-now intoxication shouldn't be taken lightly.

The charges are disorderly conduct, alcohol and hazing. |
OUCH.
Not again. When do they learn?:( |
its really sad to see one of the strongest fraternities here on campus in so much trouble. Local news stations blow things out of proportion, so dont take everything they say literally.
question though, what do you guys think the consequences will be? |
I don't think I've ever seen someone of legal age drink to the point of needing hospitalization.

Your point is well taken though. Most people's binge drinking years are from 18-21. I really think it's because younger people only see alcohol at parties and never get a chance to experience it responsibly. People think that since it's already illegal to have one drink, might as well have ten. I think it's crazy that the gov expects people to go off to college and wait till they're 21 (late junior/senior year) to drink! Prohibition breeds binge drinking. |

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A University of Central Florida fraternity is under investigation. Sigma Alpha Epsilon has been accused of hazing after three people were taken to the hospital. It's not the first time the frat house has been in hot water.
Accused by whom? It doesn't say. "We don't know much about what happened to lead them to go to the hospital. Hmmm... The three students were treated and released. UCF will talk with doctors to see what made them so sick. Treated? Treated with what? For what? What's the treatment for drunkeness? Hot coffee? |
"Yes, sometimes history for a chapter is included in looking at an appropriate institutional response,"
It seems to be included when writing for a newspaper too. I don't know anything about SAE at UCF, but I know BAD reporting when I see it. These stories are loaded with unsubstantiated inuendos. Jono |
Judging from the following links seems as if there will be a hearing next Friday on this matter. Always more to follow.

yea i acctually know the pledges that were involved in the whole situation 3 years ago. they are currently brothers. But the media's facts are so incorrect and blown out of proportion. Theres a meeting on friday to see what UCF decides. Hopefully they will be able to keep their house, bc we've all seen the drama that UCF is STILL having with Pike and their house.

Media does tend to blow fraternity and sorority events out of wack when shit hits the fan...
Damn media.... |

if fraternities and sororities didn't give the media something to talk about, there wouldn't be this problem. |
