Even though I did not know Jamail on a personal level I attended the memorial service. That day I felt like I lost my own brother.Then I realized that here at YSU we are family and that I did lose a brother. He has one of the strongest families I have ever seen. This was a sad day to say the least.
"If it wasn't for him, we would have 12 caskets in that room"
I am so upset and sad by this event. Why did someone have to die over something so stupid and small? I hate that the news keeps saying this was at a fraternity house. It was not a fraternity house. Some fraternity members just live there together. It was NOT on YSU's campus! That is why there was not security there. Becuase of Ignorant people tragedies like this are happening everywhere not just in youngstown. For example, the student who died at Kent State University walking to a fraternity party, or just recently someone got held up at gun point in the parking lot at Kent State. NOT JUST YSU! Not to mention another beating that happened outside of an Akron bar that is near Akron U. Just this fall Slippery Rock had 6 Rapes. These are horrible events but they happen everywhere. Youngstown State is one of the safest university's in Ohio. They offer GREAT police staff and security.
Lastly, being in Youngstown State's Greek life is unexplainable. You will never understand the closeness of the small but strong family of the greeks. I think that all of the chapters feel sad and angry.....but we all have eachothers back in the end. All my love goes out to the QUE's, friends and family who have to suffer this loss. YSU is my family, when my family is hurting I'm hurting.
