]I LOCAL/STATE The Michigan Daily - Tuesday, October 20, 1998 - 5 FRATERNITY Continued from Page 1 said. Sanctions could include the temporary removal of the fraternity's charter from cam- pus. Under the suspension implemented yester- day, members may still live in the house but not participate in Greek activities such as social events and intramural sports. If the national board suspends the fraternity's charter today, active members will be placed on alumni status and be forced to move out of the fraternity's house, located on Washtenaw Avenue. "We do know there was a party and that alco- hol was present," said Howard Oberchain, spokesperson for the fraternity's national head- quarters in Ohio. All chapters of the fraternity nationwide are scheduled to become alcohol-free by July 1, 2000. If the campus chapter's charter is suspend- ed, the chapter could return after a semester off campus, pending University and Interfraternity Council approval, Oberchain "In similar cases, we have suspended the charter" - Marc Mores National Phi Delta Theta liability and risk management director said. The University's IFC adviser John Mountz said the organization is waiting for the investi- gations of Chi Omega and Phi Delta Theta to finish before it begins any investigation of its own. "We try and work in cooperation with the nationals," Mountz said. "Phi Delta Theta has been a leader in pushing the Greek Community in issues of alcohol." Mountz said no sanctions have been made against Phi Delta Theta fraternity from the IFC or the University. In the recent past, two other fraternities, Sigma Phi Epsilon and Zeta Beta Tau, have been sanctioned for incidents involving alco- hol. David Trivax, a lawyer who has been involved in similar cases, said identifying the persons responsible for Cantor's death involves several key. factors, including Cantor's age and the provider of the alco- hol. "If the alcohol played a part in her death ... the next step would be to put the (fraternity or sorority) on notice of a possible lawsuit:' Trivax said. For a Greek organization to be named liable, Trivax said, it would have to be proved that alcohol played a part in Cantor's death. "You would have to prove the alcohol in ht-r system lead to her falling out the window," Trivax said. The Department of Public Safety plans to send their report on the investigation to the Washtenaw Prosecutor's Office in a couple of weeks, University spokesperson Julie Peterson said. Even if DPS submits its findings to the pros- ecutor's office, Peterson said, their investiga- tion still may be ongoing. LOUIS BROWN/Daily The Phi Delta Theta fraternity has been suspended by its national chapter pending an investigation of st Thursday's party where Courtney Cantor reportedly drank alcohol before her death. VIGIL Continued from Page 1 continue to work for all of Courtney's positive goals and dreams." Rich Kirschen, a rabbi at Hillel, recited an Aramaic prayer, which was a6out life and God's presence. *Cantor's given name in Hebrew means beautiful life, Kirschen said. "We are here to remember a beautiful life," he said. Marita Inglehart, director of Markley's 21st Century Program - of which Cantor was a member -- spoke on what Cantor's death means to the program. Cantor's application, with which she, sent a photo. was the first received for the program, Inglehart aid. "We looked at the photo, and we got excited," Inglehart said. "She was the beginning of the new year ... and we are ,deeply saddened that she was the first-to leave us." Many of Cantor's friends shared their memories of her. Cantor's room- mate, LSA first-year student Marni Glden, spoke of how Cantor affected Wcr 1ife. Golden told the story of how she and Cantor came to be roommates. Golden wanted to find a roommate herself rather than being randomly assigned to a student. She said a friend gave her Cantor's phone number as a prospective room- mate. Golden said she was reluctant to call the number because of her shyness. Cantor "had the initiative to call me," Golden said. Golden said Cantor profoundly affected her life. "Courtney, you did. You have taught me so much," Golden said. "The sun woke me up this morning. I'm not very spiritual, but I thought that it was Courtney." Kinesiology senior Bradley Holeman, president of the Interfraternity council, and LSA senior Mary Gray, Panhellenic president, offered their condolences on behalf of the Greek system. Cantor accepted a bid to the Chi Omega sorority last week. Cantor's death "has definitely affect- ed (the Greek system) and shows what we need to change at this campus," Gray said. Dean of Students E. Rovster Harper said: "My wish for you tonight is not to understand the details of her death, but to understand the details of your lives, so we don't have to stand here again." Haynes encouraged the crowd to sign a remembrance book that will be given to her parents Counselors are available to anyone who needs help dealing with Cantor's death, Haynes said. Cantor was at a party at Phi Delta Theta on Thursday night, where she was seen drinking alcohol. Alcohol was found in her blood and urine samples, according to a Washtenaw County Medical Examiner's preliminary report. 'LOOK FOR THE DAILY'S ELECTION SECTION ONE WEEK FROM THURSDAY.
