Thank you, Steve, for not mentioning the chapter at IU that has had recent trouble...because as it turns out, the 48 Hours story is not about a chapter at IU. (I went to IU, and am very sad about what happened to a certain chapter there recently, especially since that chapter is my finace's fraternity!!!) FYI, here is what 48 Hours has posted on their website:
"A Deadly Haze: Last winter, Steven Petz, a freshman at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Mich., was pressured into drinking 27 shots of liquor as part of his initiation into an unauthorized fraternity. He passed out and was put to bed that night, but by the next morning, he was barely breathing. Pledge organizers waited an hour before getting Petz medical attention, even after it was clear that he was in serious condition. He later died from alcohol poisoning. In a landmark court case, six of his fraternity brothers were arrested and charged with crimes, including manslaughter."
So, it sounds like this is a sub-rosa fraternity, not part of the IFC... not that that makes the story any "better," but at least it doesn't implicate the IFC.
