To me it is just as likely to happen, but because it happened at a fraternity house, there is this "greater need" to be aware.
I wonder if the dean would have thought it still be a "teachable moment" had no greek org. been involved in any way.

I think you're proabably on to something here Blaine. It would be a tragedy nevertheless, but probably would not garner the attention of the dean beyond a factual "tragic accident" comment. Perception is reality, and the perception is that this kind of thing happens more often at our houses than it does outside of them. That is the image we must act on.
