I just read this on a local website and thought I would pass the word along.

Thoughts and prayers to his family and brothers.

Since when is capture the flag part of a fraternity initiation?

I'm sure the fraternity men are completely horrified and trying to get their minds around what happened. My thoughts are with them and the family that lost a son.

A little more information:

The Hickory Daily Record: L-R student dies

WCNC: Student died playing game

He was pledging Theta Chi. I'm guessing that, as so often happens in stories like this, the term "initiation" is being used very loosely.

A friend of mine knew the guy really well. She is an alumna of Lenoir Rhyne. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and the Greek Community at LR!

Thank you all for your concern involving Harrison's death. I am the IFS president on the Lenoir-Rhyne campus. This has had a giant impact on the school and especially Greek life on campus.
