Yes. According to the FCPD's timeline investigation she drank beer and shots at the house after visiting the other parties. That's either posted somewhere here or in the Risk Management forum.
Here's a quote from the Rocky's timeline article...
"Two hours later, Spady would make her final stop at Sigma Pi, a house where she had concluded drinking nights before by passing out, the police said.
Change in demeanor
Twenty-five people had gathered in the brick fraternity house near campus, and Spady switched back to beer.
But as the crowd dwindled to about 10 at 3:30 a.m., Spady began what would be her final descent. Taking swigs from one or two bottles of McCormick's vodka, the former Nebraska high school honor student and homecoming queen's demeanor changed. She became visibly drunk and slurred her speech, Deputy Coroner Beers said.
About an hour before sunrise, Spady could no longer stand. She couldn't make sense when she spoke.
Two men who didn't live in the fraternity house put Spady's arms around their necks and carried her to an unused bedroom converted into a lounge.
Her girlfriend, who would tell police she drank close to what Spady did, checked on her and then went back to her dorm room.
The last time Spady was seen alive, she was lying on a couch on her stomach, using her hands to cushion her head, police said.
"We don't know if she was alive an hour or two beyond that point," Beers said.
In Spady's last moments, she slipped into unconsciousness, went into a coma and died. Beers said a blood-alcohol level of 0.4 is considered lethal."
This is just way too sad.
According to the above, this wasn't the first time she has passed out at the Sigma Pi house, so perhaps those there were off their guard.
On the other hand, it appears that there were numerous people and times to intervene, but nobody understood the gravity of the situation.
