Re: giving minors alcohol

The facts of this scenario are not clear. Based on the question as presented, it would appear that the fraternity officers may have been negligent in allowing under-age persons to drink alcohol and drive. Those drivers, however, and possibly their passengers, are probably also negligent for driving while impaired (or voluntarily riding with an impaired driver). You may want to consult an attorney with more facts to discuss this further.
