Through the haze: Western Kentucky U. recognizes National Hazing Prevention Week
On the night of Sept. 16, 2004, Gordie Bailey, then a freshman at the University of Colorado at Boulder, and 26 fellow pledges of Chi Psi fraternity were taken blindfolded to the Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests, where they were told to drink four 1.75 liter bottles of whiskey and six 1.5 liter bottles of wine in 30 minutes. After the group returned to the fraternity house, Bailey was intoxicated. He was placed on a couch and left to sleep it off. He never woke up.
