Arizona State University SAE Blows BAC of .47 Percent, Brothers Drop Him Off At Hospital With Post-It Note (Update: Student In Question Weighs In)
13 years ago

All this time we thought the worst thing some asshole you trusted could do was dump you with a Post-it note. It turns out, the worst thing some asshole you trust can do is dump you at the hospital with a Post-it.

A 19-year-old SAE at ASU recently engaged in a drinking competition of sorts, during which he took an estimated 20 shots of tequila. Gross. Needless to say, it got him pretty drunk. So drunk, in fact, that he started shaking and turning blue. Rather than immediately bringing their brother to the hospital, for fear of the legal consequences, his friends took the boy to their homes to try to give him medical attention on their own. Usually, guys who are almost as wasted as their unconscious fraternity brother can remedy situations such as these, because one among them has typically bullshitted his way through Anatomy 101, rendering him an expert in the field of medicine. Surprisingly, this group of wasted frat boys had no such luck.

They finally brought him to Tempe St. Luke’s Hospital between 1:00AM and 2:00AM. Again, fearing the ramifications, the boys did not want to reveal themselves to the authorities or hospital officials, so they dropped him off in the emergency room, sat him in a wheelchair, and left a Post-it note:

”I’ve been drinking and I need some help.”

Clearly, they’re not ones to spare details. Luckily, it wasn’t long before the student received medical attention. His BAC had reached .471 percent. For a frame of reference, .08 percent is the legal limit, .5 percent is dead. Police are still investigating and are unsure whether the drinking competition took place at a fraternity-sanctioned event. Criminal charges may be pressed. Yikes.

So, his fraternity brothers are pretty much the worst friends in the world, but to be fair, I do think that more universities should adopt amnesty policies for people who responsibly handle alcohol-related hospitalizations. “Hey, we promise you won’t get in trouble, if you promise not to let your friends die of alcoholism.” It’s not so much to ask, and it will eliminate the need to have Post-it notes on hand. Win-win.

    I feel bad, one of their pledges died last semester (not hazing related) and that set them back pretty far, now this shit. Their a good group of guys they just get set back with stupid shit like this.

      Exactly ^. BOWSxANDxTOES I’m on to you. I see you left the same comment twice just worded a little different earlier. You seem like you’re in TKE at ASU, and if you are a fuckin TEKE then I suggest changing your username as you’ve never been on bows and toes considering you guys don’t haze.

    Just to clear the record. Many of the media’s post were slanderous and misleading. First, yes unfortunately we lost a pledge who had a fake I.D. and was drinking at the venue. Later he was urinating off the balcony like a frat star when a bouncer rudely interrupted him mid piss. The escorted him out not telling anyone and told him to leave. Unfortunately he was later found in a nearby river, probably where some jealous GDI put him. You know the sorts that work for the media out here in Arizona. Next, school is out and has been for a week. What’s there to do, oh drink your sorrows away because all the sorostitutes left. Apparently our poor brother Aidan was really sad got drunk. Our brothers took him there, signed all the paper work, stayed there UNTIL visiting hours were over. Then others came to make sure their brother was okay. He was there for like a day then went home to Cali….The kid is not in critical condition.

      How about you stop trying so fucking hard and show some respect for Jack, the pledge whom you openly referred to as a “brother” on multiple accounts.

      Is this on behalf of the ASU SAE chapter or do you need to change your name?

    couple things here – the local affiliate reporting the story used the phrase “grave situation” which implies death. no one died. poor use of words. also per the student in question – and his parents – the fraternity brothers stayed with him until he was in a bed and left when visiting hours were over. they should update their story, retract their original claims, and apologize for making the fraternity look bad – and themselves.
