Horrible News From Ohio Northern University (Ohio Alpha)

[pshsx1]

I got this email from my President last night:

Brothers,

We just received the tragic news that a brother from Ohio Northern University was pronounced dead early Sunday morning. The investigation as to exactly what occurred is still ongoing, however, at the moment it is know that Eric was found in a friends apartment late Saturday after being stabbed nine times. Please keep Eric, his family, the brothers of O.N.U., and all of those that knew him in your thoughts and prayers. As we figure out more details they will be relayed to you.
This is truly a tragedy and we hope that the investigation and all other proceeding events go smoothly.

My Facebook is extremely somber right now from both my chapter and especially theirs.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Brothers, families, and friends of Ohio Alpha.

HFF, Brothers.

Brothers in faith and love are we
Pledged in the bonds of loyalty.
Ready for each to do and dare,
Wrong to resist, and grief to share.
With heart to heart and hand to hand
We meet, a true, united band.
No power can break the sacred tie—
Together we’ll live, together we’ll die.
Faithfulness shall our watchword be;
Courage, the word that makes us free;
Friendship, the star that lights our way.
Guiding to love’s eternal day,
We’ll bravely strive for truth and right;
In God our trust, in God our might;
In him we may all foes defy,
In him we’ll live, in him we’ll die.
When we are sundered far apart,
Time cannot chill our faithful hearts.
But as the seasons come and go,
Still shall our friendship brighter grow.
Not even death’s remorseless hand
Can sever this devoted band.
We’ll faithful live, and having won,
Die in Sigma Phi Epsilon.

I just heard about this from two high school friends who are recent alumni of this chapter. Extremely sad.

I feel like I've just been punched in the gut. This is my alma mater.
