A Northeastern University student and her parents are suing her sorority, its chapter president and an apartment landlord after the junior was left with "catastrophic and permanent injuries" from falling out of a window at a party.

According to the lawsuit, filed in Massachusetts court in March, the fall happened on March 31, 2023, while Sarah Cox was at an apartment that her sorority, the Phi Omega chapter of Alpha Epsilon Phi, used as their sorority house. The suit claims that during a party that evening at the second-floor apartment, Cox was in a crowded kitchen when she fell out of a window and onto the driveway at least 20 feet below.

There was an article in the Atlantic a few years back…one of the topics was falls and accidents in college/GL. It’s astounding how many people fall out windows, off roofs, etc.
