Third death this school year
Indiana Univ.. of Pennsylvania:
In the early hours of Sept. 30, freshman Craig Sheehan was found dead in a stairwell leading to his apartment. The Indiana County coroner's office ruled his death a suicide by hanging and noted that he was drinking heavily prior to his death.
The night of his death, Mr. Sheehan attended a mixer at Theta Chi, a fraternity where he was pledging.
After Mr. Sheehan's death, the university suspended all pledging and ordered a review of the pledging process.
On Oct. 5, administrators announced that social privileges would be suspended for all Greek organizations, meaning they would be prohibited from serving alcohol at any event where more than 10 members were present.
After an outcry from Greek members, Student Government Association President Nikki Norris met with IUP President Tony Atwater, who agreed to lift the sanctions.
