Texas Tech freshman died with blood alcohol content 4 times over legal limit to drive
The Lubbock County Medical Examiner’s Office has released a full autopsy report shedding further light on the death of an incoming Texas Tech freshman.
According to the report, 18-year-old Dalton Debrick died with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.324 — more than four times the legal limit to drive. Earlier this month, the medical examiner declared acute alcohol intoxication killed Debrick.
The manner of death has been ruled an accident.

Debrick was rushing the Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity. The day his body was found, the fraternity’s national headquarters dispatched two senior officials to Lubbock to investigate an alcohol-related incident, said Gordy Heminger, president and CEO of Alpha Sigma Phi’s national headquarters.
As a result of the investigation, the Alpha Sigma Phi colony on Tech campus was closed for a minimum of four years.

[font color=green]Although it may not have made a difference, I don't believe that fraternities or sororities should rush anyone until they completed at least one semester of classes. That would at least allow the students to begin to build a base of friends independent of the organization so that they wouldn't feel as pressured to fit into life on campus.[/font]
