Agreed. But I've seen this situation before (although not with the same results). Sometimes a freshman really doesn't know what his limit is in alcohol, or maybe he didn't know about walking away, or maybe he was even too afraid to do so.

The guy was a newly initiated brother, I wouldn't expect to rely on his judgement.

From my experiences, most incidents in fraternities, or even other aspects of college life, could easily be avoidable if someone simply took a second to think through the consequences of their actions.

I just wanted to stress that in a fraternity of 30, 40 or 90 guys, it is very difficult to step up and do the right thing and go against everyone else. But guys, DO IT, or something like this just may happen to your chapter.

I'm telling you, having your chapter pi$$ed off at you for a couple days is much better than having to defend yourself for years in a court of law.
