An Ohio college student is being kept alive so his organs can be donated after a fraternity hazing incident on Thursday left him in critical condition.

Stone Foltz, 20, a sophomore at Bowling Green State University and a new member of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, was allegedly hazed during an initiation event where he was made to drink alcohol, school officials said.Foltz was taken to the hospital after the alleged incident, and remains there as of Sunday.

“Stone Foltz is still with us at this time and he is surrounded by his family,” Sean Alto, the family’s attorney, said in a statement. “Despite their unbearable grief, they are currently working through the organ donation process so that others may have a second chance at life.” In the wake of the incident, Bowling Green State University placed the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity on interim suspension Friday as it investigates. On Saturday, the school said it was temporarily"suspending all new member intake processes and on- and off-campus social events” for Greek fraternity and sorority organizations.

Pi Kappa Alpha’s national office said it placed the Bowling Green chapter on administrative suspension and advised its leader to cooperate with law enforcement.toward illegal activity, substance abuse, bullying, and hazing of any kind,” it said in a statement.

Viruses vvcvdhhhh

God bless him and his family😪💔🙏

What's a matter with the so-called adults overseeing these fraternity's? Those adults overseeing these fraternity's need to make sure these things are not allowed in the fraternity's. There ought to be very strong punishment for those who are doing these things, period!

Yep that’s how it works, why do you not know how organ donation works?

This makes me so mad. No excuse for this.

So sad.

Fraternity = Rent a friend!

Hazing IS prime example of the vestiges this Nation is crumbling over. Priveledged white men convincing the less powerful to agree to screamingly stupid and dangerous actions.

What a sad and preventable death. For what? Laughs? Sick...

Loosing a child is a parents absolute worst nightmare! Children should bury their parents, not the other way around. My condolences to the family and my foremost admiration to them for donating his organs.

Poor guy just wanted to CRUSH PUSS!

💐🙏

Oh that is so sad! I pray that God is in that situation!

I am so sorry. At 19 he was just trying to fit in. Alcohol abuse has always been an issue on college campuses. I graduated college in 1981 and to this day, this problem has not been properly addressed.

💗

Wha a waste. I just feel bad.

Sounds horrible. need to remove my organ donor status

He passed away

💔💔💔

Hazing must be banned from ALL colleges

I know some people believe fraternities offer familial bonds that can last... but when things like this happen, and CONTINUE to happen, it just proves that they aren't being governed properly, or harshly enough. We need an office in every college to control this behaviour.

May God bless his family.

snappycinder Greek Life is the finishing school for sadists.

Prayers to this family. I am so sorry. My heart breaks. 💙🙏🏼

My heart breaks for his family. I had a talk with my teen about how much alcohol she could physically handle if she were to drink at a party. It's important to talk to your teens but I know it doesn't always work. So sad 💔

Those involved need to be charged with involuntary manslaughter...

But whats more dangerous, alcohol or weed?

Fraternity hazing should be outlawed. Parents don't send their children to college to die due childish stupidity. My prayers go out to his family. 😟

Fraternities: the only things in college more worthless and moronic than athletics departments and psychology degrees.

how are y’all still hazing during a pandemic

What’s wrong with this country that we can’t put an end to this? It’s like gun violence... everyone’s appalled by it yet no one does anything about it! SMH 🤦‍♀️

Yeah, i mean it's not like it's poison or anything. Although, i really don't have room to talk. When i was his age i almost got arrested for urinating on the Baumholder sign and now 10 years later i still drink. Do you know why, because i'm stupid.

Should have been hazing with weed

FUCKED!

💖 PLEASE READ💖👀 WE'RE OUT OF TIME to secure His 'Aftercare fund' for years of proper follow up & meds, a new 💙 w/out it means He'll reject it & die. PLEASE, if U can't donate, just retweet so others can see, for a Child, Thank You!! AboysHeart

What exactly happened?

Imagine dying this way at a young age.

This is tragic. 🙏❤️

I do not understand after all the killings fraternities are not outlawed.

My deepest condolences to his family. 🌷

This is like the matrix plot except organ harvesting instead of humans as batteries and that seems way more frightening.

Sad sad story. Hope his organs can save lives!

..... thays not terrifying at all...

No fraternity should gamble with the lives of prospective members. Celebrate brotherhood but to a limit. In a time where we are fighting covid, this PiKappaAlpha chapter took Stone's life away instead of allowing him to be an asset to the fraternity.

How is it possible that life-ending hazing 'incidents' still occur in 2021?

But he is white .. how is this news

Weed kills.

An American.. Thing?

May this beautiful soul RIP

Omg so sad

This type of hazing needs to end.

💔🙏

This is so sad. Hazing has no place in school or anywhere. Prayers to the family.

Rip💔

Completely unnecessary and heartbreaking. These kids do this just to 'fit in'. It's not worth it kids. 😥😥💔🙏🙏

😪

heartbreaking 💔

🥲🙏💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. God bless his family.

'being kept alive' Doctors (maybe not these doctors) lie about this a lot. A brain dead corpse on a ventilator is dead, period. Don't let your doctor unduly gouge your wallet when it's not time to hope, it's time to mourn.

When, oh, when is higher ed going to get rid of this Panhellenic crap? It is racist, elitist, imperialist, and abusive.

God awful.....

Stone Foltz. Frat boy. He could have been a supreme court justice, if he could only hold his booze.

My 20 yr old is pledging this semester. While I’m certain that he knows his limits and when to bail, I’m well aware that it only takes one a-hole upperclassman to push too far. Frats and hazing were banned from my school, and I’m tighter with my college crew than any frat bros.

How tragic! 😢 I cannot even imagine what his family is going through. When will this barbaric practice of hazing end? I feel like there are stories like this every year.

And the national organisation of the fraternity in question will soon issue comment on this ‘sad, isolated incident’ that is most definitely not occurring at other chapters.

Such a tragic loss of a young life - the culture that promoted the behaviour that led this needs to stop and stop quickly

Insane and ridiculous 😠 I thought we were done with this crap

Very sad, but this keeps happening. Do families realize that liquor will be involved in hazing incidents ?

So senseless. Two young lives ended for no reason whatsoever.

This is profoundly sad and my heart is with his family and friends.

OMG put a stop to the fraternity hazing, or be criminal prosecution and charged let’s see how that looks on your Ivy League resume.

My sincere condolences to his family and all who cared about him.

Heavy drinking during college should not be the norm and accepted behavior. Many an alcoholic began his or her downward spiral “ just drinking like every other kid”. Parents, educators and students need to be educated on the possible consequences of college drinking.

a_fly_guy_no So sad and unnecessary.

Is that second degree murder, or manslaughter?

😢

Fraternity should be immediately terminated

Never understood these social clubs. 🤷‍♀️

:(

My prayers to his parents. Sad news.

While Inspecting The Painting Of The Bridge Over The Colorado River Near Hite I Had Another Near Mishap That Taught Me How Quick One Can Lose Ones Life

That is just so sad.

😡😡😡who supervises these children

Grocery Stores And Gas Stations Play A Huge Role In Imposing N W O Propaganda Upon The General Population Because Everyone Needs Food And Gas

rip bro

This hazing needs to stop... its one thing to do something safely and an entire different things to do seriously reckless stuff....

Abolish fraternities they provide nothing valuable whatsoever

Is it the one where they tie a brick to your dick? That one always made me squirm when I had to do it.

Heartbreaking.
