I am sad to report that my Fraternity, Delta Tau Delta, has been named in a lawsuit resulting from the death of a student at the University of Maryland.
Here is a link to the story:

This suit seems to be a real stretch to me. From a reading of the story, it appears that this family is filing against everyone on the East Coast with little actual grounds (my opinion only), it should serve as a warning to other groups about their potential exposure to liability.
Even though the university investigation cleared the Fraternity, a judge or jury could easily disagree.
I believe in the Fraternity and its principles, but as I have said many times, none of us is immune to this type of problem, and it only takes one allegedly bad decision to cause serious problems.
