It is good that his brothers took him to the hospital and stayed with him instead of letting him "sleep it off" or dropping him off at the hospital door.
This is a teachable moment. Not every teachable moment has to be a punishable moment. The University can do more campus programs on alcohol and/or place posters around campus reminding students how to be safe at on-campus and off-campus parties.**
Punishing these people and talking about doing away with Greek Life (only fools who didn't like Greek Life in the first place go to that extreme) do not accomplish anything.
**There are colleges and universities that have mandatory classes on alcohol for first year students; have posters and safe-tips around campus year-round; and encourage ALL students (not just GLOs) to be responsible. That doesn't mean that underage drinkers are encouraged to drink (not every college student drinks under the age of 21) but it means students are told to drink responsibly, and not to binge drink, no matter how old they are.
