I'm sorry but i think our parents and HQs should be worried. I think it is tragic that this young woman's family has their pain being broadcast across the country but the reality is that we lose people every year to alocohol related deaths. I think at some point our orgs need to be more organized and focused on addressing the issues that come with college drinking. We state over and over again, that no matter what we will drink. Many people have had those nights where it could have been close. I don't think that this is really about the fact that she was a former sorority member and found in a fraternity house. The reality is that she was a young intelligent woman who lost her life. Yea there is responsibility on her, but it is also on the shoulders of everyone at the college. We are social groups and we have to promote a SAFE social atmosphere. Yea alcohol is fun, but it is a hell of a lot more fun when the ambulance doesn't have to pull up on your lawn.
