Shortly before an MIT Phi Gamma Delta pledge died of alcohol poisoning, members of the chapter were warned that alcohol would soon be banned in its house, Bill Martin, the organization's executive director, said yesterday.
Hoopingarner said the fraternity's alcohol policy was not a factor in his decision to pledge.
At least one former fraternity pledge, sophomore Pedro Fuentes, said the fraternity has a campus reputation for wild parties.
As a first-year pledge, Fuentes said he had never drunk alcohol before. But that changed on a fraternity trip to visit frat brothers in Vermont.
Saturday evening's party, however, came after the pledge season's conclusion, and Krueger had already been welcomed as a member of the society. The event was designed for "big brothers [to] link up with their little brothers," Campbell said.
