Pledge dies in hazing at Chico fraternity - House was kicked off CSU campus in 2002 f
a pledge of a non-recognized fraternity at the CSU Chico campus has died recently....here's an article:
Matthew Carrington
This 21 year old died from water intoxication, which I'm sure many of you have heard of (unfortunatley) in hazing practices. Our entire greek system had to attend a meeting where the president of our school spoke, and we watched a movie about a situation eerily similar to ours.
The situation here, to summarize, is there is a fraternity on campus that had been here for a very long time. They began local and got nationally recognized, only to get their charter taken away and then to lose their recognition with IFC and the university due to many infractions including alcohol violations, sexual assault, and MANY fights... yet they continued to remain on campus. So they were completley unregulated and this tragedy has happened.
my question to GCers: have you had similar problems at your schools? what do you think we can do to stop this?
