Jason Wren lawsuit is dismissed

Tuesday, May 10, 2011

A lawsuit against Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 1308 West Campus Rd, was settled in April and officially dismissed on Friday.

Court records show District Judge Michael Malone dismissed the case filed last year by Jay Wren against several fraternity members as well as the local and national chapters of the fraternity where his 19-year-old son, freshman Jason Wren, died from alcohol poisoning on March 8, 2009.

Wren and SAE attorneys settled last month but have not given any information on the terms of the settlement. The dismissal came from a request by the attorneys but, again, no comment or further details were given.

After his son’s death, Wren called for the fraternity to “go dry” and for tougher alcohol regulations on campus.
