A sophomore at Bowling Green State University (Bowling Green State University, Green Bowl State University) in Ohio died of alcohol poisoning at the orientation meeting. The parents and the school reached a settlement of 3 million yuan. The society rejects this bad tradition.
Stone Foltz, 20, couldn’t escape the tradition of killing a bottle of hard liquor when he attended fraternity orientation in March 2021. He suffered from alcohol poisoning and died three days later in the hospital’s intensive care unit.
His parents and the school announced the settlement on the 23rd, saying that Foltz’s death will shock both parties forever. It even eradicates the bad habit of carnival in the whole country.”
The Foltzes said they would use $3 million for a foundation in their son’s name. “We can continue our struggle and save more lives.” They have given speeches at various universities, reminding students that partying Selfless play for fun is actually very dangerous.
The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, which Stone is a member of, has settled with the Foltzes for an additional $7 million. Eight members of the society pleaded guilty to charges of manslaughter, bullying and serving alcohol to minors, and two of them were acquitted last year of other charges of manslaughter and manslaughter. Lawyers for the pair argued that Foltz was not forced or ordered to drink the entire bottle, but that he finished it himself.
Afterwards, the students from the club took him back to his residence and found that he was unconscious. He was rushed to the hospital and died.
The reason why his parents sued the school was that they knew that the fraternity and sorority associations had the bad habit of “violating newcomers”, but they did nothing to stop them and allowed things to develop in an unfortunate direction.
Rex Elliott, an attorney for the Foltz couple, said the fraternity cannot survive without ending its habit of punishing new students.
