student charged WITH HOMICIDE in hazing death of LSU freshman
Matthew Naquin, 19, is among 10 people in at an LSU fraternity who have been arrested in connection with the Sept. 14 death of Maxwell Gruver, whose blood-alcohol content was more than six times the legal limit.
The Associated Press reports that Naquin “faces a felony negligent homicide charge in the death of 18-year-old Maxwell Gruver, a freshman from Roswell, Georgia, who was trying to join Phi Delta Theta.”
The report also claims that “witnesses told police that other pledges were made to drink that night, but Naquin “targeted” Gruver because he was frequently late for events. Naquin apparently didn’t like Gruver, and “forced” him to drink because he was having trouble reciting the Greek alphabet during “Bible Study,” a ritual testing their fraternity knowledge, they said.”
Egg Freezing Is the Millennial Woman’s Backup Plan
Andrea Colombel writes in a provocative piece that “many women are putting their careers ahead of their personal lives, something men have done for centuries. But even biology has not caught up with society. Women still don’t have the ability to produce offspring as long as men do and therefore have a shorter window to start a family.Egg freezing is the solution to this contemporary dilemma.”
