The link above is the recent article regarding the WVU Student who died at the Kappa Sigma Fraternity Pledge event had 6 times the legal limit.
The article states.....A West Virginia University student who died during a fraternity pledge event had a blood-alcohol level of more than six times the legal limit, well above what health officials consider lethal, police said today.
Nolan Burch, 18, of Williamsville, N.Y., died Nov. 14, after suffering a "catastrophic medical emergency" during a pledging ceremony at Kappa Sigma fraternity, police said.
Burch and 19 other fraternity pledges were taking part in an initiation function known as "Big-Little," Morgantown Police Chief Ed Preston said in a statement released today.
Burch and the others were taken to a room in the fraternity where they were blindfolded and then taken to another house where they were presented to the "Big," a senior member or alumnus of Kappa Sigma, and given a bottle of liquor, Preston said.
UNBELEIVABLE!!!

Giving the kid a bottle of liquor is not hazing... Perhaps if they forced him to drink all of it. However, I doubt such a thing occurred or ABC would be reporting on a criminal case. Regardless, it's a shame for the kid and his brothers.
