Instead, from what I have been told from numerous people (including non-fraternity members and girls), at least two people were with me at all times that night to make sure I didn't stop breathing, etc...As I stated, it seems that most college kids don't really know how bad off a person is by just looking at them. I fully understand that just because a person who has drank too much is breathing, doesn't necessarily mean they are alright. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem too many college kids understand this. Again, I take full responsibility for my actions and if I don't blame my fraternity brothers for MY actions, I don't see how anyone else has the right to do so.

Again, unless the people "standing by" you were EMT/Paramedics/LPN, they had no idea just what was wrong with you and how to handle it.
If they even had a thought about you not being able to breath, they should have called 911 rather than wonder what if. What they "did" was just short of doing nothing. Because the odds are rather good that if something had happened, by the time true help arrived, you would have been dead. For all they did was waste the "golden time".
You were very lucky.
And if you saw some one today in that condition, what would you do?
