With new developments surrounding the tragic death of Riley Strain, we reconvene with Dan Catullo and, eventually, Eric Oakes to dissect the latest information and pose the crucial question: where were Riley's Delta Chi fraternity brothers when it was time to search for him? This inquiry delves deep into fraternity behavior and accountability.
Eric Oakes, the father of the late Adam Oakes, who met a similarly tragic fate in February 2021 after attending a Delta Chi fraternity event at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), shares his firsthand experience. Adam, a freshman at the time, became the center of attention due to the circumstances surrounding his passing. His death shed light on the pervasive issues of fraternity culture, hazing, and student safety on college campuses.
Investigations into Adam Oakes' death were initiated to uncover the truth behind the events leading to his untimely demise. The incident sparked widespread discourse on the hazards of hazing and catalyzed calls for more stringent oversight and regulation of fraternity activities.
