“I would argue that it was neither. Rather, the deceased was likely a willful participant in a stupid activity (excessive drinking), the potential consequences of which were likely well known to him.

Does the SAE level of pledge drunkedness represent (a) too much of a good thing, (b) too little of a good thing, or (c) exactly the right amount of a good thing?</p>
<p>[Note: By definition pledge drunkedness must be “a good thing” – if it was a bad thing why would SAE continue the practice?]</p>
