The only thing this Frat House will take a shot of; is Grief

Unfortunately, Nolan Burch, graduate of Canisius high school and University of West Virginia student passed away November 12th. His family decided two days later to take him off of life support, in which he passed on shortly after. The first responders at the scene notified that Nolan was unresponsive and not breathing. Before the "tragic catastrophic medical emergency" occurred, he tweeted earlier in the day, "It's about to be a very eventful night to say the least." Who would've thought that the 18 year old freshman would be prophesizing his own demise?
Nolan was described as a "fun-loving" guy and very social. The people with the bubbly personalities are usually the ones who go on to college and decide to join fraternities and sororities. A lot of college students drink and go out. It's just what they do. Especially when they're dorming and living on their own. People in high school do the same; going out on weekends and partying thinking nothing will ever happen. I was once like that too. I just didn't care and I went out and did what I wanted not thinking that anything would ever happen to me. Kids abuse alcohol all of the time. Just take a look at social media. There's enough embarrassing, drunk and sloppy pictures to go around. I'm quite happy that I got out of that. It's sad to say that some people take drinking to the extreme limits and the people that they "party" with, let them do it. Those people in the frat house are all enablers. They enable people to exceed their "limit" and that's when things like this happen. If the person drinking and their friends came up with a limit as to how much they would let each other drink that night, maybe this wouldn't have happened. I wasn't there so I couldn't tell you if that would even work.
The part that gets to me the most is the fact that the Kappa Sigma fraternity wasn't even recognized as a "frat" at WVU. Burch was pledging for the fraternity and that's probably where the problem started. For years in high schools (around the 80's) and in colleges, frats and sororities would pledge people to join and those people would have to go through a series of "activities" I suppose, that involved them doing things that would either hurt/make sick, embarrass themselves, or benefit the group. This could possibly be the reason for him excessively drinking that night. Could it have been the freeing and partying effects of college, or was it to get the "in" with the Kappa Sigmas?
