This happened at my school, although it was a pledge, not an active, who died. He had the equivalent of 16 drinks in his system when he was admitted to the hospital (which was a few hours after he first lost consciousness) - he spent 2 days in a coma and then died.  I believe he was 18 or 19 - definitely underage.
The school immediately revoked its recognition of the fraternity chapter.
The national fraternity also revoked the chapter's charter, as well as passing a resolution that all chapters should go dry within 4 years.
The pledge's parents sued the chapter. This was a mistake as the chapter effectively ceased to exist once the school and national fraternity revoked recognition.

You're talking about the Scott Kruger incident, right?
This ended up being a huge deal for all Boston schools - I heard about the incident when I was at freshman orientation, and it has been constantly referred to while I've been in Boston, especially by advisors when I was an undergrad in the chapter.
The affects of Kruger's death are still being felt throughout the Greek system all over Boston.
