I didn't see this posted on GC yet, but saw it on CNN.

Eastern Washington Student Dragged to Death

He was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon at Eastern Washington.

I think he was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon though....at least the video said that....

Thanks for correcting me. I am going to try and catch a moderator to edit the title to the thread.

I saw this story on the news this morning, but I didn't realize he was a fraternity member.

Yet another reason why I don't want my boyfriend to go hunting! This story is just plain creepy!

For some many reasons this whole event is so sad and hard to understand.
From the following links, it would seem to be very far from clear cut, at this point, what happened, how and why:

Wow, this is a really sick situation.

Apparently the young man was dragged by his neck for 13 miles! They're charging the accused with second degree murder, but I'm surprised - it certainly seems premeditated to me.
