    Lawsuit filed against college for allowing a culture of drug and alcohol abuse

    The lawsuit is against Utah State University:

    Utah State University officials long tolerated "a culture of drug and alcohol abuse" at a fraternity house where a teenage freshman pledge died of alcohol poisoning after an alleged hazing last fall, his family claims in a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Logan's 1st District Court.

    The Sigma Nu fraternity chapter had long been the scene of misconduct, including an alcohol-related suicide by hanging, underage drinking, arson, thefts, vandalism, false fire alarms and assaults, contend lawyers representing the teen's parents, Jane and George Starks, of Salt Lake City.

    Here's the rest of the article.

    Isn't the whole point of joining a fraternity to become part of a culture of drug and alcohol abuse?
