Seven dead in NC beach house fire

http://www.thestate.com/news/story/213625.html

Supposely the ones who died are Tri-Deltas and SAEs. Six of the victims attended South Carolina (USC) and one attended Clemson. The other six that were in the house were treated and released.

Please pray for the families of the victims, the suvivors and all of their loved ones (greek or not). The news is already hit Carolina and people are taking it very hard.

I had just read about this prior to logging onto GreekChat. My sincerest sympathies to the families & friends of those who died, as well as the Tri Delta, SAE, and USC families.

I'd really like to know what started that fire, though.

I saw this on the news before reading it; my first thought was I wondered if Greeks were involved.

So sad..they were probably there having a good time and watching/attending the SC-Tenn game.

May God truly have mercy on those TriDeltas and SAEs who died in that house fire, and give comfort to their sisters/brothers and families!

Truly tragic

I'm also curious as to how the fire started, and seemed to go up so fast. Though, I suppose at 7 am, they were probably sleeping, and that can make it more difficult to get out - that early morning disorientated thing, coupled with smoke and flame

So sad, my heart goes out to the families and friends

My friend text messaged this to me knowing I'd want to know about it while I was on my way back to school. He told me that I'll read about it on here tonight.

My thoughts go out to all of their family and greek families.
