TN_TXADPi, whatever Chi Psi may have advised the members and pledges, several news reports, including a story in today's (9/23) Denver Post, have said that a number of the guys in the fraternity have gotten lawyers. Just a guess (and I could be wrong), but their lawyers are probably telling them to keep mum too. The police undoubtedly would prefer to get as much information as they can, but even the slightest possibility of a huge lawsuit can make people very cautious. (I have no idea whether a lawsuit might be pursued, but the press and TV coverage has included information about Bailey's family: father is a retired vice president of Kidder, Peabody living in Ketchum, Idaho -- that is, Sun Valley; stepfather is a "prominent Dallas businessman"; and Bailey's prep school was Deerfield. All that points to a very well-to-do family that might be able and possibly willing to mount one heck of a lawsuit, but who knows. At this point we don't even have an official cause of death.)

I agree with you totally about the lawyers. I'm sure they are telling their clients to keep silent. My point was just that the general public once again may use this against greeks. "Look at those guys, keeping quiet, not offering any info or assistance, blah, blah, blah..."
Maybe the public won't think that way, but I really can see it happening.
