The national Chi Psi fraternity on Wednesday temporarily revoked the charter of the house where a University of Colorado pledge died of alcohol poisoning after an initiation ritual.
But the father of Lynn Gordon Bailey Jr. blasted the fraternity for not doing more. Many of the local members have refused to talk with police, and Lynn Gordon Bailey Sr. said their silence should not be excused.
"This fraternity is doing a disservice to the young men in the fraternity who played a part in this tragedy," Bailey said.
"What they should do is encourage the young person or persons responsible to come forward. By condoning their silence, they are sending these young men into a life of shame and dishonor."
Boulder frat's charter revoked
This from the crackerjack investigators at Chi Psi fraternity:
University of Colorado freshman Gordie Bailey did not drink himself to death in an initiation ritual Sept. 16. He drank himself to death at a "celebration of new pledges."
This from people concerned with college binge drinking:
Big freaking deal.
Stop splitting hairs: Bailey's death demands change
[Now this is real brotherhood.] As the whiskey and wine he drank during a fraternity initiation began to kill Gordie Bailey, some of his fraternity brothers wrote racial, misogynist and sexual vulgarities all over his body as he lay passed out in the Chi Psi library.
