Updated at: 19:04 pm

A University of Idaho student was airlifted to a hospital in Boise on 
Wednesday after is was determined he may have contracted meningitis.

Don Benz, president of the Kappa Sigma fraternity, said one of the 
fraternity's members began acting strangely Wednesday morning and was taken 
to Gritman Medical Center in Moscow at about 10:30 a.m.

"He was running into walls, couldn't talk and reaching for doorknobs where 
there wasn't one," Benz said.

After administering multiple tests, doctors determined the student may have 
meningitis and immediately had him transported to St. Luke's Hospital in 
Boise, Benz said.

Kappa Sigma is taking measures to sanitize the house, and Benz advises 
anyone who has visited the the fraternity or is currently living in the 
house to take antibiotics as a precautionary measure.
