It’s not worth it young men. You deserve friends who actually love you.

I can’t imagine. Sight lost, paralysed. Often the case there is never true justice. I hope that family keeps fighting the good fight, living together in the wake of this.

Universities in the U.S. need to get rid of these fraternity or sorority clicks in schools. These groups are dangerous and doesn't promote growth.

This isn't the first time this has happened. At least one incident a year that makes the news and a lot more that don't. I am sure lots of parents don't want their child looked down upon by everyone who watches or reads the news. I remember being in school and one of the tricks was the frat took one of those do not steal tags out of a library book and stuck it somewhere on the kid so he kept going through the metal detector and it kept going off. The campus police watched as this kid was sent through over two dozen times. Hazing in frats are what happens on college campuses. Parents need to sit down and warn sons and daughters about this. Many rapes happen on and off campus due to drinking in excess.

This is why I never try to fit in to be cool. Never give in to peer pressure.

please make those who are responsible for what happened to Danny rot in jail.

This absolutely breaks my heart. Praying for miraculous healing. 😞❤️

This level of stupidity in 'Frat Boy' culture has led to _countless_ accusations and legal disputes. They could've easily learned from the mistakes of others. But, sometimes we have to learn the hard way. Shame.

coming from someone who experienced hazing in a fraternity hazing incidents like this piss me off. i was very lucky i was in a fraternity who was very strict about what is and isnt allowed in terms of hazing. i was the pledge master which means i was in charge of the pledges that came through the fraternity. we had very strict policies there was to be no forcing of drinking excessive amounts and nothing that would intentional injure someone. when the year started the board had a meeting with all members and it was clearly stated and forced consumption of alcohol or dangerous activities would lead to an immediate and automatic suspension from the fraternity and you would be turned over to the university greek affairs office where they would punish and deal with the situation accordingly. all the pledges were told if they were being put in a spot they were not feeling safe they were instructed to leave and immediately text or call me and it would be dealt with the next day. if pledges went to someone house or rooms i had to be notified who and where as well. also my room as well as all board members rooms were safe zones for all the new guys. now did we haze, yes absolutely but our hazing was. making them clean our places, designated driver duty, run errands for us (always were compensated if money was spent) and stupid stuff like battleship where we would have them lay down in the yard and the frat next door would play battle ship throwing water balalons over the fence ect but nothing that would lead to injuries on purpose. also our university had a great policy with the student medical center. it was a no questions asked policy. if you came intoxicated the staff didnt care how or where it happened you were treated and released with no consequences. every university should have that policy in place. it amazes me seeing what some of the other fraternities did in a bad way. there are good frats out there like mine who truly cared about safety unfortunately there are more where members want to feel like their badasses.

They need to just put an end to those frat parties, This is just sad

Damn I didn't realize you could lose your vision, become paralyzed and not be able to speak from a mass over consumption of alcohol.. Just disturbing stuff

They need to prosecute each member of that fraternity, the president of the fraternity. Sue the school. Make each of those dirtbags pay for Danny's care for the rest of their lives and see him regularly so they are reminded of what they did. They should all have felonies. That fraternity should be closed down nationwide. The school should also pay for his care.

Omg, full justice for the family… please.

Fraternity never brings you any good. Hazing is an act of immaturity in brotherhood it’s like bullying with permission.

you can see what a bright young spirit he has, God help bring him healing, miraculous healing beyond what anyone could expect please be with him and his loved ones, and work through his doctors nurses etc. no one deserves to suffer this way just for trying to feel accepted into a group...

These fraternities have money funneled into them by other rich members and are never ever required to deal with the consequences of their horrible actions

I am so deeply sorry for this egregious behavior by these thoughtless and cruel young men, and for what?! How many times will the fraternities ignore rules of all universities, and common sense? The guilty ones have no decency or empathy, as they keep ruining or taking the lives of innocent young men, who have great potential and value, and human rights. God Bless Danny Santullis, and his precious family, and hold them in His Perfect Grace. Amen

at what point does Accountability comes into play.

Why is being a kid or a young adult in the U.S so dangerous? Who needs the hunger games, when you got the U.S.

1st attempted manslaughter should be bought against individuals 2nd Sue the College Sue the families of the fraternity and Sue the individuals if colleges have the authority to revoke a fraternity then there is some type of liability and responsibility a code of conduct must have been violated somewhere and was not enforced

100% its because at 1:24 they dropped him on his head, that looks like tile

Damn this makes me sick, as a college student how could these kids be so oblivious to alcohol poisoning and when to call for help.

this makes me change my mind about joining a Frat. this is sickening.

If you have to sin to be in anything that's your sign to leave. I'm so sorry to the family this happened. Hopefully more youth will learn from this and stand up for their well being and safety and not bow to the seemingly glory of the sorority and frat life.

My experience has always been those in fraternities or sororities are the worst people that everyone back home hates.

They aren't wrong to sue the fraternity BUT UNTIL THE SCHOOLS ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND LIABLE the frats will never end their bullsh*t

He was grown enough to say no.

So sad to see this prayers to him and his family 🙏

Accountability

He could have said no

I am so fired up they all deserve 25 years to life in prison for that

There is no reason or purpose for a fraternity. This happens too many times. College students are not adults.

Where has PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY gone??

Teach your kids they are ACCOUNTABLE for their own life. You have a choice

As a parent, I felt sad and angry towards any of those young college students who were involved with this incident. My heart went out to Danny's parents.

And weed is illegal.

He couldn't just walk away ?

I can’t believe I never heard about this, the university is in Columbia Missouri, the frat house which is a few blocks away from where I live. This is insane! The Prosecutor died not too long ago for the county. Hope something happens so this doesn’t happen

Why not just say no I'm not doing that. Poor sense of decision making for being in college.

Anyone that goes to that length of pledging should report it and walk away from it immediately.

This literally ruined the lives of His parents. Instead of enjoying retirement they will have to ask dad permanent how tall caretakers… Let’s not forget how many hundreds of thousands of dollars they will have to spend because of this

Danny should've resisted peer pressure and left.

Horrible. Purpose of college is to prepare you the future. It’s not to make sure you don’t have a future.

Danny had free will to decline the hazing and walk away from the fraternity . Everyone was immature in this situation including Danny. Just say “NO”

A slap on the wrist!! What a joke!

That's why as soon as I felt uncomfortable in the frat I intended to join, I simply left. I didn't care what they thought of me because I barely even knew them.

As soon as someone puts their hands on me without my permission I'm out. I don't want to be friends with people who'd attempt to force me to harm myself.

For future College Students...............DONT PAY FOR " FRIENDS "

This is absolutely disgusting. I feel like we see too many horrific events happen in comparison to this. Universities and colleges should completely get rid of fraternities for good! Horrible and outrageously disgusting. These so called "brothers" should be ashamed of themselves. This is also not an example of pledging as I once went through it as a fraternity brother. This is HAZING

This is so sad, prayers to your entire family!

0:45 this is scary 😭

The fraternity members should definitely be charged but I also believe his parents did a poor job educating him before college. There needed to be a conversation about alcohol, sex, etc before dropping your kid off at college. There would have been a chance their son didnt allow himself to be hazed like that if they just openly talked to him about what college experience is about.

Oh my gosh. I would hope my twin sister would pull the plug if I was ever left like that. This is so astronomically sad. I feel like every single person involved should be charged with manslaughter. This is so messed up. I am at a loss of words. I feel for this family so much. I cannot imagine. Unfortunately, we all know that knows in ball will not be punished as they deserve

Danny should have said "no." Danny is responsible for his state of being.

This is crazy. I've never heard of such results from drinking that much. However personal responsibility doesn't go out the window.... like ur a grown man in college. How about saying no, I'm not doing that.

.468 is absolutely insane. To put this into perspective, a 220 pound male if they drink a 12 pack of light beer (4-4.2%) within 3 hours not only do they have the strong urge to blackout but you lose almost complete bladder control at that level, with their BAC being more than twice the legal limit at .17. the fact they willingly let this man consume that much alcohol in such a little amount of time is beyond me. How can someone physically drink that much alcohol that fast and not get sick immediately?? So tragic.

What needs to happen is the whole frat and sorority culture needs to be finished with or at least monitored by school officials. They shouldn't be allowed to have their own houses anymore because even with surveillance, this happened.

Parents talk to your kids! Don’t let them be sheep! They shouldn’t want to join these groups, & they should know better then to get there asses that hazed and drunk. Teach your kids to make good choices parents !!!

This is why every frat/sorority should have a house mother or house father that is unrelated to any members and is older.

went through the entire university and never got in any fraternity. Dont get why people feel the need to prove themselves to bunch of idiots and risk their lives like this!

what did they expect? this is the reason why people are attractive to fraternity.

How many times does this have to happen???

So tragic, so unnecessarily tragic. I'm so sorry to this beautiful family. This must stop. Come on fraternities and sororities---is this the best you can offer the world? You all make me sick.

so heartbreaking

There is no way he was forced to drink all of that !! I would blame both!! The fraternity for having alcohol with minors and doing the hazing practices but !!! This young man made the choice to stay there and drink all of that !! Come on now

I go to SDI online and it’s the nicest study environment I’ve ever had.

Charge all with attempted murder.....

Well, minors drinking alcohol isn’t something new and it won’t stop. Someone let him go to that fraternity so..

Fraternities shouldn't even exist if people are being harmed. :'( This is so messed up it makes me mad this happened. >:(

Frats are overrated and I don't get it

Do parents not know what frats do? This doesn't need to happen if the kid said "no" to drinking the alcohol and just left the house altogether. College boys will be stupid and out of control - all the more reasons to never put yourself in a position to be harmed.

School doesn't define your life. You don't have to be in a fraternity to be cool. School is only temporary. Many successful, established and accomplished people that were never in fraternities. Some even didn't go to college at all. Be wise and don't give in to peer pressure.

The national fraternity should be sued out of existence.

They are blaming everyone involved except for their son who was making the decision to consume the alcohol himself. No one was forcing him and trying to hit college kids with felony charges because your own son made a mistake is gross.

Fraternities should be banned, they are childish.

frats yuck

It's okay to leave. If you are uncomfortable, then leave . It's not worth to make friends with those who choose to destroy you. And this is actually what happened.

how is this still happening?!!!!!!!!!!!! criminals!!!!! f them. and I pledged.

Who raises these people?

To be honestly fair, as a college student I think this isn't all to blame on others. He made the decision to be there and the decision to drink. I have never ever put myself in any situation like this because I know that there are consequences. I don't think blaming others is the correct way of handling Danny's bad decision making. We should not blame others for our consequences on bad behavior. We should take this story and then question our own decision because now we see what can occur. This is still very saddening for the family I can't imagine what they are feeling.

No words to describe how disgusting this is. I hope the ones who caused this tragedy spend the rest of their lives in jail.

These kids need to stop trying to join these stupid fraternity.

When will people stop blaming other for THEIR OWN ACTIONS? Should’ve known better than the parents should’ve thought better ,simple as that .

I just wish they will announce the names that are involved. They don't need to be protected for there are criminals!

KIDS WILL BE KIDS

This sad… my heart hurt for this family

Why would anyone pledge a sorority or fraternity in undergrade? They do for "social acceptance." Joining, you risk death by alcohol or forcing you to swim in the ocean, when you can swim AT ALL.

This is so bad. I pray that Danny gets better soon. 🙏🏻

Fraternities and Sororities should lose their tax exempt status.

These kids don't learn?? How many hazing tragedies does it have to happen for campuses to take action?

Sorry to sound harsh...but Danny brought that on himself. He could've just walked away. I didn't see anyone tying him down or holding him down and pouring booze in him. And what was he doing underage drinking? No one ever takes any personal responsibility/accountability...

He couldve declined. So sad he didnt, he got messed up 4ever.

I didn’t even know alcohol could do that

Why are frats still a thing?

Why do we even have frat houses? Seems like these things happen way to often

SMH. Poor Danny. So sad and awful!! :(( my heart breaks

You took your own RISK .

Alcohol poisoning....these college students should know about this

That’s truely horrible

the one who’s responsible is Danny himself, he could have gotten out of the situation before he was ever force to drink, don’t let peer pressure damage your life ever! Being apart of this frat house is not worth putting your health at risk. Sure the frat guys should be punished for not reacting sooner and shouldn’t have done it in the first place but never put yourself in a dangerous situation. Go to college to study and graduate. Be responsible adults in college
