But prevention is the responsibility of the<br>> fraternity/sorority. Fraternities and sororities must establish, and most<br>> have, alcohol policies, and enforce them.<br>><br>> UI Sororities and fraternities are located on private property. The only<br>> action theat the university can do is bar the sorority's/fraternity's<br>> charter if violations become habitual.<br>><br>> Other than that, off-campus alcohol sources (i.e. grocery stores, taverns,<br>> etc.) must be monitored for sales of alcohol to minors and those found in<br>> violation should be severely punished.<br>><br>> The Moscow Police Department does an excellent job, but even they can only<br>> do so much. Do you have any idea how many under-aged DUI's,<br>> minor-in-possession,etc. are recorded daily in the "Public records"<br>> section of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News? I suggest you look them over<br>> for this semester. You might be surprised.<br>><br>> And now for general information . . .<br>><br>> As far as alcohol-related incidents are concerned . . .<br>><br>> Who can forget Sigma Alpha Epsilon's "Jack Daniel's Birthday" which also<br>> was sponsored by Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, and Beta Theta Pi's "50 Ways<br>> to Lose Your Liver" back in March of 1999.<br>><br>> Courtesy of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News archives.<br>><br>> LEWISTON -- Bryan Ulmer told the Idaho Supreme Court Thursday that Rejena<br>> Coghlan liked what Alpha Phi sorority could offer her at the University of<br>> Idaho.<br>><br>> As an 18-year-old freshman pledge, Coghlan was excited about becoming part<br>> of the house and happy about what she thought she could contribute to the<br>> Greek residence, Ulmer said.<br>><br>> But six years after a fall from the sorority's third-floor fire escape<br>> that paralyzed her from the waist down, Ulmer told the state's highest<br>> court that Alpha Phi neglected to live up to Coghlan's expectations.<br>> Ulmer, Coghlan's Jackson, Wyo., attorney, told the Supreme Court that,<br>> despite what was decided at the district court level, Alpha Phi had a duty<br>> to care for Coghlan the night of her 1993 drunken fall.<br>><br>> Coghlan took her fight against the sorority, three UI fraternities, UI and<br>> the Idaho Board of Education to the Supreme Court after 1996 and 1997<br>> dismissals of all the defendants in her case. All were relieved of their<br>> liability for Coghlan's fall by 2nd District Judge Ida Leggett.<br>><br>> At the time of the investigation, Coghlan told police she was served<br>> alcohol at two UI fraternity parties -- Sigma Alpha Epsilon's "Jack<br>> Daniel's Birthday" which also was sponsored by Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity,<br>> and Beta Theta Pi's "50 Ways to Lose Your Liver." Police reports said she<br>> drank more than six beers and mixed drinks before returning to the<br>> sorority that evening.<br>><br>> "She was encouraged to drink by her new sorority sisters," Ulmer said.<br>><br>> After the parties, Coghlan was taken home and put to bed in the<br>> third-floor sleeping porch of the sorority and shortly after, fell 30-feet<br>> from the fire escape.<br>><br>> Ulmer argued that Coghlan had a special relationship with her sorority<br>> similar to the relationship between an inn keeper and a guest. He said<br>> that relationship meant Coghlan had an expectation of safety while she was<br>> part of the sorority. Ulmer said part of the sorority pledge was that<br>> sisters kept each other safe.<br>><br>> That policy, Ulmer told the Supreme Court, was especially clear through<br>> the houses "guardian angel" program. As a policy of the house, Alpha Phi<br>> pledges were assigned to an older member with the responsibility of<br>> watching over them during the year and during the Aug. 19, 1993, "Rush<br>> Week" celebration.<br>><br>> But Chief Justice Linda Trout questioned whether it was Alpha Phi, the<br>> institution, or individual sorority members who could be held responsible<br>> for Coghlan's injury.<br>><br>> Ulmer said, since the program was part of the sorority's policy, that<br>> Coghlan had an expectation of care from the sorority. He said that care<br>> should've continued when Coghlan, with a .25 percent blood alcohol level,<br>> was put to bed on the sleeping porch. Ulmer said a sorority sister<br>> should've stayed with Coghlan until she no was longer intoxicated.<br>><br>> Ulmer also said the UI had a duty to care for Coghlan since there is an<br>> expectation by students and parents that universities should be safe,<br>> including parties authorized and sanctioned by the schools.<br>><br>> "(Rush week parties) are activities the university is allowing on its<br>> campus and is aware of," Ulmer said.<br>><br>> However, UI attorney Richard Greener said the university had no duty to<br>> Coghlan since she was an adult who voluntarily consumed alcohol.<br>><br>> Alpha Phi's attorney Chris Kurley agreed that Coghlan chose her actions.<br>> He said she was not required to drink or attend the fraternities' parties<br>> and was not forced to do either by the sorority.<br>><br>> The Supreme Court is expected to make a decision on the Coghlan case in<br>> the next few months.<br>><br>> If successful with the suit against all or some of the defendants, the<br>> case will be sent back to the district court.<br>><br>> ----------------------------------------------------<br>><br>> Just a couple more previous incidents . . .<br>><br>> Student death: Toxicology points to alcohol poisiong<br>> Posted on: Wednesday, June 11, 2003<br>><br>> Alcohol poisoning has been ruled as the cause of death of a University of<br>> Idaho student whose body was discovered inside a Moscow fraternity house<br>> two weeks ago.<br>><br>> Toxicology reports received by the Moscow Police Department show Nick<br>> Cannon, 21, of Troy, died accidentally from alcohol toxicity.<br>><br>> Police Capt. Don Lanpher said police discovered no evidence of foul play<br>> in Cannon's death and have closed the investigation of the incident<br>><br>> Cannon's body was discovered the evening of May 24 inside an apartment at<br>> the Sigma Chi fraternity on Nez Perce Street. The apartment had formerly<br>> been occupied by his cousin. The fraternity typically rents out its<br>> apartments during summer months.<br>><br>> Cannon was known to have been drinking the evening of his death. He was<br>> last seen at a bar on Main Street in Moscow, according to police reports.<br>><br>> -------------------------------------------<br>><br>> Fall at UI Fraternity sends female student to Moscow hospital<br>> September 7, 2001<br>><br>> Moscow police are investigating the Thursday injury of a female University<br>> of Idaho student in a fall from a UI fraternity window.<br>><br>> The injured woman was transported to Gritman Medical Center. Her condition<br>> was not available.<br>><br>> She reportedly was hurt in a fall at 1 a.m. at the Phi Kappa Tau<br>> fraternity house, at 620 Idaho Avenue.<br>><br>> Alcohol is believed to have contributed to the accident.<br>><br>> Hal Godwin, vice president of student affairs, said the student, a<br>> freshman, had broken her legs.<br>><br>> He said he understood the woman had fallen while attempting to reach the<br>> ground from a window of the fraternity by crawling down ivy.<br>><br>> There was not an official party ongoing.
