Fraternity goes dry after alcohol-related death
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- No alcohol will be allowed, at least temporarily,
at the fraternity where an Oregon State University student died after
falling from a fire escape.
Spencer M. Haugh, 20, died Thursday after he was taken off life
support. The Gresham junior had a blood-alcohol content of .20 when
he fell while visiting the Kappa Sigma house last Friday.
He had been drinking with others at the house, but was not a member
of the fraternity.
Police said Haugh was rocking back and forth on a railing when he
fell, landing on a concrete patio. He suffered head and spinal
injuries.
Eric Dickey, an OSU graduate and Kappa Sigma's spokesman, said the
fraternity members decided as a group to remain dry for the time
being.
"There's been no concrete decision (to make the house permanently
dry)," he said. "I wouldn't rule it out, but any thing right now is a
possibility."
Corvallis Police Capt. Jon Sassaman said investigators are still
trying to determine if charges will be made.
