re: Update: Ten LSU Phi Delta Theta Members Arrested By LSUPD Following Hazing Death

quote:

A pledge has the reasonable expectation that he will not be encouraged to drink until he dies . So he takes a shot or two. Then a third and fourth. And this point moral responsibility SHIFTS to those who are still sober and/or in leadership. Now that he is impaired they have a legal and moral responsibility to proceed with caution. Particularly since he is a pledge, and is essentially “ auditioning “ for his spot in the fraternity, and wants to gain their favor. It is highly likely that members knew they went overboard and that at some point a “man of conscience “ should have stepped forward . They let a young kid, away from home for the first month, drink himself to death under their direction. That’s a legal and moral failure that should haunt them every day for the rest of their life.

What if the pledge took drugs before the event without telling anyone and the drugs increased the chance of death?
