Thursday, March 12, 2009

Lawrence Police will block off West Campus Road today between the Chi Omega Fountain and Memorial Drive from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. for Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s memorial service for Jason Wren, Jill Jess, associate director of University Relations, said Wednesday.

The memorial service will begin at 6:30 p.m. outside the fraternity’s chapter house, 1301 West Campus Road, and is open to the public, a spokesperson said.

Wren, who was a 19-year-old freshman from Littleton, Colo., was found dead at the fraternity house Sunday afternoon.

SAE to hold memorial service for Jason Wren

Ah, those guys. Calling him an alcoholic one day, refusing to disclose information to his father the next, and now they give him a "memorial service"

Any bets on how many of them will be sober?

SAE to hold memorial service for Jason Wren

The whole situation is sad and should have never happen if Jason has used common sense and the SAE followed their own rules. But then again Angler's seafood would have carded at dinner and everybody else who served him liquor that night would have avoided serving a minor. This is a senseless loss of a young man's life.

pantheon,

I didn't see in any of the papers where the SAE's refused to disclose information to the father, I did see that the dorms and University wouldn't tell his dad about the real reasons he was removed from Oliver Hall. I don't think you get removed from a dorm at KU for only being a social drinker, something is up there. Would you rather not see this young man receive a memorial service? I feel for his family and all those who knew him. I hope the young men at SAE remember this and if any are responsible they own up to the consequences.

Hey, look at me, I know some information about a tragedy that you don't know! Woo hoo, tragedy! Making me feel important!

SAE to hold memorial service for Jason Wren

Maybe I was told wrong. I don't actually get all my information from "journalists". I don't have any problem with a memorial service, I just find it amusing that the comments about him being an alcoholic and not being able to hold his drink and basically denying any responsibility are followed by a memorial service given by the ones who put him in his death bed. Not ha ha funny.
