following the policies and protocols they have set in place for situations like these.” The fact that Crozier’s death occurred at a fraternity house gives JCU an opportunity to analyze what went wrong. Obviously fraternities and sororities at JCU do not live in off-campus houses, which is something Crahen and other administrators take pride in. “It’s hard to make comparisons because obviously the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania is a much different higher education institution than John Carroll is. They have houses off-campus that are owned and operated by fraternities, and we don’t have that. We certainly have students who are in fraternities and sororities [that] live on campus, on different floors in the residence halls, and I think that’s a very different environment than having a house off campus. From my perspective, as the dean of students, it is certainly a benefit to have members of Greek organizations living on-campus, where you have RAs, and residence life staff who are here during the evening, on the weekend, and they’re able to respond to situations. [Also] every incoming student had to take the online alcohol educa- tion class, AlcoholEdu, so that is [another] one of our big prevention efforts,” said Crahen. “Keeping our Greek organizations on-campus minimizes the risks. It is also to ensure that fraternities and sororities are taking steps to understand risk management, why it is important and what they can do to maintain healthy, productive and valuable chapters-with the help of advisory and alumni support,” Mittelmeier said. “We have various policies set in place for social events with alcohol and behavioral standards off-campus, and we continue to hold our students accountable to those standards. It is my highest hope that all of our students involved in Greek-letter organizations learn from severe situ- ations such as these.” Crozier’s death will certainly never be forgotten at JCU, but there is also a lesson to be learned along with it. “What we learn is if students choose to drink, it’s about doing so safely,” Crahen said.

Last week, the University began public discussions to determine whether or not Campus Safety Services officers should be allowed to carry firearms. There has been both agreement and dispute among students and faculty across campus in regards to the issue. Many see equipping CSS officers with firearms to be a necessary step in improving the safety of the campus.
