Hard to have a new normal with all activities suspended. How does that work? Can they still live in the houses?
The story doesn’t say what it was - alcohol poisoning?
And there's not a riot at the president's office? Students aren't trashing the library, and seeking out conservatives to beat up?
The time is NOW. As a nation, we need to take back our children from the “educators” and the “entertainment” and “sports” businesses, and re-instill “deeply religious and moral” values in them. If we don’t, God help us.

The action follows the death three days ago of Andrew Coffey, a pledge at Pi Kappa Phi, who was found unresponsive after attending a party, and the arrest today in an unrelated case of Garrett John Marcy, 20, who was charged with the sale and trafficking of cocaine. Marcy is a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity.
Sorority girls can be mean but they rarely kill people.
It doesn’t seem clear at this point that either the university or the fraternity had anything to do with his death.
The Criminoles.......................
The schools punish all the fraternities if anything goes wrong. It’s like the school prays that a dead student is in a fraternity so they can blame them.
You don’t need to be in a fraternity to drink yourself to death. Kids today don’t know how to drink. They pound liquor like we pounded 3.2 beer. I was visiting my son on campus and he had just gotten a friend out of jail where he spent the night. The kid blew a .06 at 2PM the day after he got arrested. No frats involved.
First, though, I would like to see how many students living in dorms and apartments at FSU have had similar incidents. I'd also like to know per capita how many such incidents occur per student-year, for each group.
When I was in college, people in dorms did everything from fall out of bunk beds drunk from three stories up...
to get electrocuted on various transformers....
to die of alcohol or drugs... to commit serious violent felonies, say, attempted murder.
These students were NOT fraternity or sorority people.
All these incidents got scant press.
The lifestyles, beliefs, extracurricular activities, politics, social status, etc., were never delved into.
I see this as just another means the left uses to break up any groups of people on campus who want to follow some kind of student traditions, who refuse to be lockstep liberal, and especially, who refuse to live in the government dorms, where the indoctrination is 7/24/365.
People are welcome to flame away.
It is not the fraternity or sorority. It’s the use of the blackball to eliminate a candidate (pledge) who hopes to make the grade. Some carry that pain for a lifetime. Impossible to forget.
When I was in college the drinking age was 18 so we drank, ALOT.
Still remember trips to Chicago for cases of Everclear.
No one ever died although some wished they had the next morning.
I really know nothing about the facts surrounding this case but why didn’t FSU suspend football season when Jameis Winston was accused of rape?
It is outrageous to punish all sororities and those fraternities that had nothing to do with this tragedy.
Right to assemble?
Not at FSU.
Was the pledge a male or a female?
Careful now!
That's not the slam dunk question that it used to be.
I hope young and stupid college students wake up
Tell me it wasn’t butt chugging again?

Blame the Greeks? Are the Amish off the hook for awhile?
How is it that a government institution can violate American’s right to Freedom of Association under the 1st Amendment, even those of college students who are legal adults. It’s time for some class action lawsuits here. I think the Trump DOJ needs to start suing these universities in federal court.
Public universities and colleges cannot see the massive beat-down coming their way from an enraged public.
