If there were sixty reported deaths, there would be an investigation and huge media coverage.

Delta alum, as usual you are wrong.
Off of the top of my head I can list about 20 college athletes that have died in the last year.
I already mentioned the 3 football players that died in Florida. You added the football player from Northwestern. A pole vaulter from PSU died in the Big 10 Championships. 8 members of the U
of Wyoming X country team died in a van crash and one college lost half a dozen players from their basketball team in a small plane crash this year.
Its probably hard for you to understand but many stories do not make your local paper. There are millions of people that die in this country every year.
Has anyone checked out the Hank Newer website that lists the 60 "fraternity related" deaths? Many of the deaths listed on that site are bullshit and have little to do with fraternities other than the fact that the members might have been in fraternities. That BS site even listed the 2 kids that fell from a dorm room at U of K while wrestling. What did that have to do with a fraternity? They also listed suicides, accidential drownings, and a number of car accidents that were not alcohol related. Ex. Joe from "alpha beta" was hit by a car that ran a red light. How the hell is that a fraternity realted death?
Does anyone know the cause of death for the ZBT brother at Alfred? The last story I read said that the beating had nothing to do with his death.
