Recently, a student from LSU and one from MIT have died from alcohol poisoning. There is a recurring issue of fraternities consuming alcohol against the rules of the university. With this issue on the rise, more people are suffering the consequences whether medically or socially. Two weeks ago a ban on alcohol’s presence in fraternity houses on campus property was re-instated. If the policy is violated, immediate suspension will occur. The suspension will entail a ban of the fraternity for five years after a second offense. Following the description of the punishment administrators feel alcohol has no place at fraternity parties and they will take extreme measures until the students receive the message of their seriousness regarding the issue. Three students, Press Martin, Al Amalek, and Rob Smith of the Alpha Beta Zeta fraternity were the latest brothers to suffer from alcohol poisoning after consuming alcohol at a party. A fellow brother, Addison believes that the entire fraternity should not be held responsible for the careless actions of a few. While the university is debating a punishment for the policy violation, Jane Mize of the university’s public relations department notes that a suspension of a year is the typical consequence for this offense. If this issue continues to rise, the university might increase its police patrols of fraternity houses on the weekend until it decreases.
