As a Sigma Chi from the University of Oklahoma. I have read the posts and must say there are numerous rumors and many false statements..

The first that I want to address is that the "the older members stood by and watched him die"

Blake got sick around 1:30 in the morning. And was throwing up in the shower.. coherient responding to people. No more drunk than 90% of the guys on this board get on any given night. And its unfortunate that we are de-sensitised to someone getting sick from alcohol. His big bro and the president helped him to a couch set him on his side after he was done throwing up. The big bros roomate then watched over him until 5 in the morning until he fell asleep. And blake never woke up..

Unfortunatly getting sick from alcohol is an all to common thing at the University of Oklahoma and is just taken as an every day thing wether the person is of age or under age..

One point of reference. Since Blake graduated highschool he has lost 70lbs (4 monthes) and police found epherdra in his pocket upon arriving but the toxology report was stopped after they found the alcohol level to be of a "fatal" level..

Its my belief that Blake new his limits as a 220lb football player but overstepped them as a 150 college freshman..

I can assure everyone on this board there was no physical forcing of any alcohol down this young mans throat..

This is indeed a very tragic death.. Sigma Chi housing corparation (which will be going bankrupt) paid to charter 4 busses to take all all the sigma chi, alumni, and pledges the 200 miles to his funeral yesterday.

His family is in all of our prayers..

As far as the brothers of the Beta Kappa chapter, they have until this coming Monday to find a new place to live and a chapter with over 90 years of history looks like it will be gone from the university of oklahoma, for at least 4 years.


If anyone has any questions about the facts I will be more than glad to answer them to the best of my ability
