[A family friend] said Yancy had never done drugs before entering college. Based upon incidents described by Yancy prior to his death, she blamed Pi Kappa Alpha for distributing drugs to its members.
...
On Nov. 14, five days before his death, Yancy was arrested for possession of cocaine and Xanax. According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office report, Yancy said the drugs were for his own use. He referred to the Xanax as a "xanny bar." In Yancy's wallet after his death, investigators found a Post-It note that read, "8 - Bars $30," suggesting a sale or purchase.
...
On the day Yancy died, police found items in his bedroom that included several prescription medications, $230 in cash, five cell phones'; many bags containing a white powder and residue, a measuring scale and several bongs, marijuana plants and syringes. They also found a safe and a combination to that safe. The combination was addressed to a UCF student. Inside the safe were more bags containing a white, powdery substance.

I don't mean to be dismissive or anything, but a family friend would probably not know whether or not the kid did drugs in high school. That's not exactly something you go around sharing with casual acquaintances. And let's face it, you don't usually go from non-drug-user to that hardcore in three months no matter who you start hanging out with.
And even if he did get into drugs mostly because of the fraternity, this is still a choice he made. The other fraternity members should be held accountable for their actions if the accusations are true (hazing, tying people up and forcing drugs on them, etc.), but there needs to be some personal accountability here as well.
