Report of freshman with alcohol poisoning leads police to Chi Phi party

A report of a female student taken to Bloomington Hospital for alcohol poisoning prompted police to investigate a party at the Chi Phi fraternity early Friday.\nFreshman Kylie McKay was cited at Bloomington Hospital for illegal consumption. Those with her at the hospital reported there was a party at the fraternity where McKay had consumed 'punch,' said IU Police Department Sgt. Tim Lewis.\nAfter questioning those at Bloomington Hospital, IUPD officers arrived at the fraternity in response to the information they received, Lewis said.\nPolice were initially denied admittance to the fraternity house, but let in after notifying Dean of Students Richard McKaig.\nLewis said that during their investigation at the house they detected a smell of alcohol in a back room where the party was said to have occurred. Eight students were given citations, and a garbage can suspected to have held 'punch' tested positive for alcohol.\nThe case is now in the hands of the dean's office.\nFor a full story, check Monday's Indiana Daily Student.
