Penn State frat members gave pledge 18 drinks in less than 90 minutes, video shows

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Beta Theta Pi brothers gave their pledge 18 drinks in an hour and 22 minutes, surveillance video from the basement of the fraternity house shows.

The new tape led Centre County's district attorney, Stacy Parks Miller, to announce additional criminal charges Monday against frat members as a result of the investigation into deleted surveillance video from Feb. 2 when Timothy J. Piazza participated in a hazing ritual.

Twelve more Beta Theta Pi members have been charged, including five facing manslaughter charges. At least two dozen people now face charges in the case.

The uncovered footage sheds fresh light on the events that resulted in the 19-year-old's death, Jim Piazza, Tim Piazza's father, said Monday afternoon.

and it was horrid. They not only poisoned him with alcohol but let him fall and hit his head over and over. His poor family has to keep reliving this nightmare.

What they did was unspeakable. Completely devoid of any humanity.
