Appeals panel: Dad can press lawsuit vs NIU fraternity over son’s hazing death 

An Illinois appeals court will allow a father whose son died after drinking too much alcohol during a fraternity’s initiation ritual, to resume his lawsuit against the Northern Illinois University fraternity, saying a Cook County judge erred in dismissing the wrongful death action against the local chapter and its leaders.

The Illinois First District Appellate Court took up the appeal of Gary L. Bogenberger, administrator of the estate of his son, David, who became drunk to the point of unconsciousness during a November 2012 event at the Eta Nu chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, and subsequently died.
