SUNY-Geneseo students charged in drinking death

Arman Partamian, who was only 19, was found face down on a mattress in a house run by the Orange Knights, also known as Pigs. The house is off-campus since the group was banned from the campus in 1996 after two of their students were hospitalized due to over drinking. The toxicology reports for Partamian resulted in a 0.55 blood-alcohol level, that is almost 7 times the legal limit in New York. The incident took place over a three day pledge. The students that are charged have pleaded not guilty to charge of hazing and unlawfully dealing with a minor.

USU Student pleads guilty to hazing in alcohol death

Sadie Green

One of the 12 former members of the fraternity and sorority charged in the alleged hazing death cause by alcohol of a Utah State University Freshman pleaded guilty Monday. She made a deal that would leave her record clean after she completed 12 months on probation. Sadie Green, who is only 19, is the first to plead guilty for the Nov 21st death of Michael Starks, who was pledging Sigma Nu fraternity. Green wasnt the only one present, but several teenage Chi Omega sorority women, who had “captured” and painted Stark as part of a faternity initiation that was non-sanctioned. Greens “plea in abeyance” requires he to make public presentations about drinking, as well as go to alcohol counseling as part of her community service, according to prosecutor Tony Baird. Hazing charges were dismissed earlier this month against Cecily Kiss and Grant Barney. Barney however pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice, and is set for sentancing on April 20.
