Death at UMass fraternity

I'm sure it'll hit the media within the next day or so, so it's worth posting about. A sophomore died of a drug overdose Saturday night at the Phi Sigma Kappa Alpha chapter at UMass. There's been no word on exactly who he was- they've been keeping his name confidential until his parents are notified.

I don't even know what to think.

Think twice before taking drugs. As long as they're in our culture, there will be accidental OD's. And, obviously, it's not just a Greek problem, so let's not get hung up on that.

Aw c'mon -- at least he did a search!

He clearly looked for a reference to UMass so that he could tell us about his chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, which is on a mission to change the negative stereotypes associated with fraternities or frats.

Just wish he'd told us a little more about his chapter -- like how to find them on the web. But at least he did a search.

I think he may have been googlebombing.
