This looks like the family is aware that it's a housing code/safety issue, but the dumbass school decided to turn it into an alcohol issue. If he was killed because he fell down rickety and unsafe stairs - drunk OR sober - they have every right to sue the fraternity or school (depending on who is responsible for the upkeep of the house). That the school would use his death to impose prohibition, however, is nothing short of exploitative and sickening.
