Thank you, but I'm an Alpha Delt, not a DU, but I am a member of the MIT GLO community.

This is so sad to hear about another young GLO member losing their life in an accident like this.

My condolences go out to his family, friends and brothers.

Everybody needs to be careful.

He's in my prayers - I'm so overwhelmed at the senseless loss of young life we so often read here in GC. Praying for his brothers, family and friends.

my chapter and 5 other DU chapters were in the middle of a regional conference when we heard the news from google alerts. It was a very tragic moment and very disheartening to see over appx 100 brothers faces simultaneously drop.

How tragic for all concerned, my condolences.

The Harvard Crimson has an article on it: http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=522340

And the official announcement from MIT: http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2008/wells-0303.html
