Father warned of the dangers of the fraternity after son’s pen state death

A person whose son died during the focal ritual of fraternity at Pen State University during 2017, he warned students and parents in an interview with Fox News Digital, warning the parents of practice, stating that anyone could become a victim.

Jim Piyaja’s son, Timothy, was admitted to the school to join the Beta Thea Pie chapter in February 2017. He was invited to a bid acceptance party, where he and many other vows were forced to consume Vodka’s handle.

He was then forced to drink more rigid wine before competing in the alcohol “barrier course”, including “beer pong stations, and other stations, where they had to drink alcohol, wine bags, beer shotguns, that type, as he had to drink different forms,” ​​Jim said.

“After the completion of that barrier course, you could see all the individuals in the video, all the vows were very exploded,” Jim said. “Then they all went to the basement of this fraternity house and they continued to feed the plague drinks.

Shortly thereafter, Timothy was taken on a couch up one, where he was left alone. According to the gym, he tried to open a door and leave the house, but did not give his intoxication. Then he fell down under the stairs of 15 basement, causing a brain bleeding and a broken spleen. Due to his vomiting aspiration, he collapsed the lungs.

Nevertheless, members of the fraternity picked him up and returned him to the couch.

“They threw him back on the couch and overnight they were slapping him, throwing liquor at him, throwing stuff at him. And finally, you know, either at 1 o’clock in the morning, they all went to bed, and they stopped taking him there,” Jim said.

Timothy was found again the next morning in the basement, unconscious and unique. Jim said that the members of the fraternity spent 45 minutes what to do before calling 911. More than 12 hours later, Timothy died at Harshe Medical Center. He had toxicity of alcohol from the incident, and the official cause of death was bleeding from the brain, known as a subdural hematoma.

“When everything happened and we reached the hospital and then they told us that Tim’s brain injury was a nonwower, I felt as if I was in a dream,” Jim said.

“To know that we lost him from people who were about to be his friends, and they could save his life … You could not even find your head around it,” he continued. “Like, how can this happen? Whether they were his friends or not, the person could not care at all to ensure that someone was fine? It is cruel, and it remains cruel. ,

Jim and his wife, Evelyn, now travel to the country who work actively. They talk to the fraternity and agony about the dangers of hedging, telling the story of Timothy.

They are Timothy J in Pennsylvania. Piyas were also playing an important role in the passage of anti -piazing law, which classifies hedging rituals that cause serious injuries or deaths in the form of hooliganism. His work passed the Federal Stops Hedging Act in December, which establishes various accountable measures along with standardized hedging reporting guidelines for universities.

Jim said that they focus on educating Greek life leaders, which are about the potential criminal results of hedging and often get success through students, but they also have a message to the parents who often understand “lack”.

“We really need to receive the parents, because many parents don’t think it could happen to them,” Jim said. “‘This cannot happen to my child, it is someone else’s child that it happens.” Well, this happens, and it is for good children of good families, you know, not rich, not rich.

And when the parents cannot be attributed to criminally, there are other risks, the gym warned.

The members of the twenty -one fraternity were accused in his son’s case, and he estimates that he spends about one million dollars on each criminal rescue.

Former members of Luke Viizar, Michael Bonatuchi and Joshua Kurzhevsky fraternity, all were sentenced to jail after convicted for hedging-related allegations in 2019.

Each of them received two to four months in jail and three years of probation.

“You are doing so when you are spending the retirement money of your parents originally,” he said. “And they need to ensure that they are interacting with their child, ‘Hey, if someone has asked you to do things that make you feel uncomfortable or make you or someone else unsafe, just don’t say.”

Jim said that parents need to focus on the skills of learning and developing for career and asking to avoid trouble inside or out of education.

As the vows of the fraternity undergoing this decline, Jim said that depending on the structure and dynamics of the fraternity, they have the power to control their fate, and do not need to suffer a victim of hedging.

He said, “At the end of the day, the vows have some power that they can simply band and say, we are not doing this, because the members of the fraternity need them,” he said.

“They need money, right? They require money to transfer them to the house, and they require money to pay the dues,” they continued. “And we know about those groups who have said, ‘No, we are not doing this,’ and the members of the fraternity gave them a difficult time at first, and then after a while it was liked, ‘Okay, okay, we still need pledge class, so ok.”

Jim criticized some fraternity at the national level, and some chapters of some fraternity in various schools were seriously asked not to take anti-hazing policies seriously, saying that “they are not getting it” and that “the same old, old” hedging habits are still on.

However, he has not sour on Greek life as a whole.

“I have no problem with Greek life,” he said. “I think it has a lot of good things that can give it to the students. It can make a big campus small. It can create friendship that is permanent.
