HANOVER, N.H. (WCAX) - Two Dartmouth fraternity members as well as a college sorority now face charges connected to a college student’s drowning death in July.
Search crews found the body of Dartmouth sophomore Won Jang, 20, in the Connecticut River July 7. An autopsy showed his blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit.
Jang was a member of the Beta-Alpha Omega fraternity and attended an organized off-campus party at Alpha Phi sorority, where investigators say most of the people drinking -- like Jang -- were underage. Then a group went swimming in the river after. They left when a rainstorm hit and no one noticed Jang was missing until the next day. Jang’s family says he couldn’t swim.
Now, Matthew Catrambone and Samuel Terry, two frat members, have been charged with providing alcohol to minors. The sorority was charged as a corporation for promoting underage drinking.
