Greek stories:
Two years ago my roomate's friend (ATO) took a gun to a local grade school parking lot and shot himself in the head. I'm sure there was a long story about it but we tried not to talk about it.
My sophmore year right after I rushed Theta I got home from a Fraternity party to frantic messages left by my mom. She had seen that there was a shooting at a fraternity house on our campus on CNN. Well what had happened was a Fraternity was having a formal and after the formal almost all of them went to an off compus house rented by one of the members. Some randoms came and the renter asked them to leave. Well the guys got pissed and did a drive by killing two. (One was a girlfriend of the renter and now one of my good friend, she was standing right next to him at the time). Some others were injured. Lets just say the fraternity was punished and kicked off campus for the incident which I think is wrong because it was off campus and they had nothing to do with why the men shot at them.
Ball State stories
One of the Ball brothers who helped build our university had a son who went to Harvard. Well his son was flying there personal plane back to Muncie to visit and crashed. Well his father decided to build an exact replica of his dorm here on our campus. It is called Elliot Hall and its kind of spooky and looks nothing like anything else on our campus. Well in the 80's a young man went to the top of Elliot (which remids me of the library sceen in ghost busters where the books are flying across the screen) and hung himself from the high ceiling. Well if you go up there today you can still see the marks of the rope that he used.
