At this time, Northwestern University police are investigating. In a statement from Pi Kappa Alpha Chief Marketing Officer Brent Phillips, the chapter is cooperating in the investigation.
“A young man fell from the roof of the Gamma Rho Chapter house on Monday, May 29, 2018. Out of respect for the young man, the family, and friends, the Chapter will refrain from further comment at this time. The Chapter is cooperating with authorities and is appreciative of the support of the Northwestern University administration and counseling center at this time.”
