There’s a great, all-American saga playing out at that already-notorious campus, Penn State.
With multiple layers of monitoring (cameras, a live-in chaperone, a security firm), this alcohol-free frat went out and spent $2,000 on liquor and proceeded to haze to its heart’s content.
As everyone now knows, one of its pledges slowly and hideously, on camera, drank himself to death – all under the watchful yet indifferent eyes of the frat guys.
Watchful yet indifferent eyes – that seems the general theme, no? Was anyone monitoring what the cameras recorded? There are allegations at the hearing that the chaperone simply advised the guys to destroy some incriminating evidence. The security firm dropped in for a pointless cursory visit; it found no kegs because they were upstairs and the security people didn’t bother going upstairs for their three-minute stay (nice work if you can get it).
Are you, like UD, putting this picture together?
1.) An approved Penn State fraternity — Penn State, a university desperately needing to repair its public reputation — under three layers of surveillance because it’s so irresponsible.
2.) A night of total, unchecked, fatal debauchery.
3.) Defense lawyers blaming it on the victim, the national fraternity, and Penn State.
4.) A protracted and very ugly trial looming.
Ask yourself: What the fuck does Penn State think it’s doing?
