Today, a LXA was killed in a single car accident after a night of partying at a LXA band party.
I am not clear as to whether Wed. accident involved alcohol consumed at the fraternity but it is being said that today's accident is related to alcohol consumption at the LXA band party. I also know that Wed. night is typically the night when the Auburn bars close to campus are open for 18 and under and it is typical for the fraternities to host informal pregaming parties before everyone heads out to the bars. Given that the accidents happened off campus but may be linked to alcohol consumed at the fraternities, how will this impact the fraternities?
I do wish that the culture of binge drinking would subside. I partied in college but nothing like what goes on today....
UPDATE
Alcohol and speed were involved in fatal Wed. accident. Student had been at the fraternity prior to the accident.

It is confirmed that alcohol was involved in this crash, and apparently the driver was not wearing a seat belt.
