    The Daily Iowan TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 2018 THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF 1868 DAILY-IOWAN.COM 50¢ Remembering Kamil one year later One year ago, University of Iowa freshman Kamil Jackowski died while at a fraternity formal. As friends, family, and campus leaders still cope with his death, new regulations within greek life try to ensure student safety. BY GRACE PATERAS | [email protected] People who knew Kamil Jackowski say he was a great friend, selfless, and a natural leader. He was handsome, and his smile could instantly change the mood in a room. That’s why when the 19-year-old University of Iowa freshman was found dead in a motel room during a fraternity formal in Missouri, the campus reacted by joining together — and greek-life leaders began making prompt changes. After the incident on April 30, 2017, after which an autopsy found no foul play was involved, the greek leadership immediately reacted by putting a permanent ban on out-of-town formals. Although Kamil’s death has not been identified as a result of alcohol use, the incident and other mishaps in the community caused leaders to take a deeper look at the party culture in greek life. Now, UI greek life is under a pilot program that limits its alcohol-related events, and greek-life leaders are working to change the drinking culture on campus. To remember Kamil, some of his fraternity friends from Sigma Chi created a football tournament to keep his name alive on campus and beyond. The event will also raise money for a scholarship for a football player from Hersey High School in Arlington Heights, Illinois, where Kamil was a team captain.
