Sad news about the recent death of a young man at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon house at the University of Kansas. My condolences to his family, friends, and the KU SAEs.
The local paper reports, with special attention to the reaction of the man’s family:

The Kansas City Star’s site has an article, too:

Excerpts from the Star’s article:
. . . the teen’s father said Monday that Jason Wren, a former Arapahoe High School honor student, drank heavily before he died. . . .
Brandon Weghorst, spokesman for Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s national headquarters, said Jason Wren was a new member, and national SAE staffers were in Lawrence investigating the death, along with SAE alumni who live in the area.
He said Sigma Alpha Epsilon policies warn members to be alert for the signs of overdrinking, and each chapter is expected to adhere to local campus rules and state law concerning alcohol.
