Interesting profile of High Point University. Would be interested to hear anyone's thoughts.

What are your thoughts? There was another thread about HP in the last few weeks.

For those of us that haven't seen the show, give us a synopsis of what we missed

I'm not a fan of High Point, or fraternities. Having said that, I think this story is about neither of those, but instead a family who is channeling their grief (and apparently a lot of disposable income) into lawsuits as a way to avoid the reality of their child's death due to their child's voluntary ingestion of a controlled substance.

Just saw this dateline. I think there is more to the story. Fraternities have a lot of influence at High Point. There definitely is a cover up mentality. Also the president's son was in the fraternity so that raises eyebrows.

A young man's poor decisions led to a tragic outcome for himself and his family. I wouldn't call this a "profile of High Point University." You'll find this kind of behavior anywhere you'll find young people, unfortunately. Teach your children to make good decisions and surround themselves with like-minded people.

I hate these kinds of OPs. Tell us your thoughts and we can react. Don't just throw it out there so you can decide which side you fall on. Also, this wasn't a profile of High Point. It was a story that happened to happen there.

I think High Point thought in 2012 it didn't have enough of a reputation to sustain an incident like this. It could have hurt credibility.

Also the college president wouldn't have wanted anything to happen to his son.

Not really. The key point was the involvement of the President and his son.
