Fraternity suspended from Michigan over alcohol-related death The Associated Press ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A fra ternity that provided alcohol to a university freshman who fell out of a window and died has lost its campus charter. The governing body of Phi Delta Theta voted unanimously to suspend permanently the charter of its University of Michigan chapter, Robert Biggs, executive national vice presi dent of the fraternity said Tues day. University officials said Courtney Cantor, 18, had attend ed parties Thursday at Chi Omega sorority and at Phi Delta Theta, drinking at the fraternity party. She returned early Friday to her sixth-floor dormitory room and, according to investi gators, accidentally fell through a window that opened just 12 inches wide. The daughter of Detroit News columnist and editorial writer George Cantor was found uncon scious on a concrete loading deck outside her dormitory. She died of skull and spinal frac tures. An autopsy showed Ms. Can tor’s blood-alcohol level was be low the state’s legal definition of intoxication. But Phi Delta Theta had been ordered in 1995 by the national organization to be alco hol-free, Biggs said. ‘‘Last week, the chapter mem bers broke their commitment to keep their house alcohol-free,” Biggs told the News in a report today. ‘‘The culture of alcohol is destructive to those values and has no place in Phi Delta Theta.” Thinking 3 years down the road?
