Uh...

Unlike the plaintiff in this case, you weren't an invited guest at someone's party who became overly intoxicated, was taken back to a boy's room, undressed, placed on a top bunk bed so he could come back and "sleep with you." you weren't left alone in this state where you unconsciously rolled over and fell out of bed causing tens of thousands of dollars of damage to your face, teeth, mandible, not to mention nerve damage, humiliation, pain and suffering, etc.

No doubt her parents didn't feel like they should be on the hook for the medical bills so they talked to a lawyer. Alternatively, they were never given a choice because their daughter's insurance company (rather than the daughter) is bringing suit against Sigma Chi, Sigma Chi's insurance, and probably several young men from the UGA chapter.

Your situation doesn't come remotely close to hers, you suffered no serious damages, and to say that she should chalk up receiving serious injuries from a fall when she was in someone else's care is something she should chalk up to "life experience" is actually kind of dumb.

I'm sure you're a smart person, just not in post #16 on this thread

This was the only part of your post I hadn't considered. So thanks for addressing it, because it does kind of shed some new light on the situation (for me at least).

Indeed.
Normally, I'm looking at things from the personal responsibility lens, too. But I wasn't expecting that the be the standard here, especially because she was served alcohol underage.
