President Of Theta Chi At UVA Passes Away Over Weekend

We bring you sad news out of Virginia. Over the weekend, Quentin Alcorn, a fourth-year engineering student and president of Theta Chi, passed away in Richmond. According to the medical examiner’s office, the cause of his death is pending.

Quentin had just finished his third year at UVA. He was a two-time VISAA state champion wrestler in high school. His passion for wrestling led him to volunteering as a coach for a number of high school teams in the Charlottesville area. He also helped out as a volunteer at The Madison House.

The chapter sent out this letter to Theta Chi Members:

It is sad to hear of his tragic passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his friends, family, and the Greek community at UVA.

    I served as Rush Chair under Q this past year and all I can say is that he was a great man. At any time he could be found with a can of Cope in one hand and a bourbon in the other. Our chapter won’t be the same without you.

        The family asked us all to keep the details private until the services are complete.

        I’m mocking a comment ballsohard made. Take it easy I know you Theta Chi guys are as sensitive as a sorority but please don’t call the frat cops on me.

        A satirical comment with a satirical name on a satirical website. Yeah wrong place.

        Such a clever comment. I get its supposed to be while “you’re ahead,” but you said “behind,” so fucking funny and fratty.

        Fuck you dude. I went to elementary school with Quent and he was a great friend even then.

        I really didn’t want to acknowledge you any more than I already did, but seriously just leave this be, guy. A good man from the community has passed, stop antagonizing someone affected by the loss. I understand commitment to your chapter but Greeks are supposed to come together as one community, especially during times like this. If you don’t want to be a part of it just walk away.

    No matter who it is, when someone within the community who exemplifies our values as Greek men, respect is given. Thanks for all you do.
