UMass fraternity hit with suspension after student fall

AMHERST - A University of Massachusetts fraternity where a student was injured in a fall has been placed on emergency suspension.

UMass spokesman Daniel Fitzgibbons said Thursday that the university received a letter from the national office of the Delta Upsilon fraternity saying it took that action against the school’s chapter.

According to the letter, the school’s chapter may not function as a Delta Upsilon fraternity chapter, may not represent themselves as a chapter and must cease all activities.

In May, police said Nathaniel Grant, a 20-year-old UMass student from Richmond, was drinking on the roof of the Delta Upsilon fraternity when he slipped and fell.

Grant was left in critical condition and the case prompted Northwestern District Attorney David Sullivan to launch an investigation into whether drinking laws had been violated.

My first reply is not why was he drinking but what the hell was he doing on the roof of the Fraternity house?

He could have been not drinking but still fall from the roof of the chapter house. Now that could be considered stupid and ignorant!
