KU Fraternity Sued Over Injury At Fiji Island Party
Stilwell man Matt Fritzie filed in Jackson County Circuit Court against Phi Gamma Delta and related parties for unspecified damages after a Sept. 17 incident at the fraternity house 1540 La. He alleges he dove into a makeshift sandbag pool during the Fiji Island party causing severe injuries including possible permanent spine damage and paralysis. The suit cites prior problems with Fiji Island and says minors drank alcohol. KU placed the fraternity on probation through 2011-12, banning alcohol at the house and social events on chapter grounds.
