People tend to overindulge on their 21st birthdays - he might have gotten just as drunk and ended up in a coma whether he'd joined a fraternity or not.

I pray this young man pulls through and wakes up.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Everyone I remember being taken to the hospital in undergrad for alcohol poisoning was NOT in a GLO, but the stereotypes still continue..........
