Three fraternity members have been charged with criminally negligent homicide after intensive hazing left a 19-year-old SUNY Geneseo student from Queens dead. Arman Partamian was found dead at a banned frat known as "The Pig House" after a three-day drinking binge. The accused Pig House members (ages 20 and 21 respectively) were seen ordering Partamian to drink more as he drunkenly jumped around a bonfire. An RA called 911 and reported, “The Pigs were forcing these individuals to drink entire bottles of alcohol around the fire, and they were, like falling over and vomiting and just, extreme, like hazing." In addition to the hazing accusations, one of the trio is facing charges for tampering after allegedly taking a fraternity jersey off of Partamian's unconscious body before cops arrived. The DA in the case said, "We've learned that many of the off-campus fraternities have been operating illegal drinking venues. They call them 'open parties,'...(They) pay $5 and get a cup and then drink without limitation." more ›
