Brett Jensen, a 4.0 graduate of Cascade High School, died in May 2002 after falling 30 feet from a balcony at Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. That night, he had participated in a “Century Club” party, which involved drinking a shot of beer every minute for 100 minutes, according to the family’s lawyer, Mark A. Johnson. Initially, officials at the fraternity’s national headquarters in North Carolina denied there had been a party that night. Jensen’s parents, Don and Jan Jensen, settled with the fraternity for a confidential amount, and there is no admission of wrongdoing, Johnson said. The family will use a portion of the settlement for a scholarship in Brett Jensen’s name. Source : seattletimes.nwsource.com |
