An MIT fraternity is being cited for having an illegal rooftop deck after an 18-year-old student “jumping up and down” on a skylight fell four stories during a party Wednesday night, cops said.
Phi Sigma Kappa will be issued licensed-premise violations for “person injured on premises, keeping and exposing alcohol and unlicensed roof deck,” police said in a statement yesterday.
Police were called to the Commonwealth Avenue frat house near Kenmore Square at 11:34 p.m. Wednesday. The student was taken to Brigham and Women’s Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to a statement from MIT. A police report quotes a witness saying the student “was jumping up & down on the Plexiglas’s dome sky light, fell through 4 stories and landed on his back.”
He was alert and conscious after the fall and had head injuries, the report says.
Several young men who exited the frat house yesterday morning declined to comment.
Alex Rothkrug, 18, a Boston University student who lives on Commonwealth Avenue, said Phi Sigma Kappa doesn’t have a rowdy reputation.
