blood alcohol level chart
The above chart estimates blood alcohol levels based on how many drinks you've had in an hour and your weight. If he weighed 200 pounds, then 13 beers is estimated at .29. The BALs in red are medically critical.
The article makes it sound as though it was a chapter event. This young man was a new member which means it is likely that he is under 21. If this is the case, they broke the law in providing him with alcohol and possibly hazing laws as well. They are lucky they are only facing University sanctions and not criminal charges.
The President of their chapter said that they aren't losing their charter. Per the article, the TKE national group was unreachable. I am sure that they will face some sort of sanctions from them as well, but it sometimes takes a little time for these to occur since National officers are usually located all over the country.
Beer pong is a fairly new phenomenon... it wasn't something we had heard about or did in college. Do you think his mom knew what it was? I wouldn't have known what one looked like if I hadn't watched Fraternity Life on MTV!
What I will say for these young men is that at least they accepted responsibility for their behavior. That was very mature of them, rather than denying the occurrence. But, their behavior was illegal and against their National policies.
