$2$ pts

In Chapter $5$ the author presents the case of Bogenberger v Pi Kappa Alpha Corp $($Case $5\mathrm{.}2/$ Illinois $2018).$ In that case a young man, David Bogenberger, was a "pledge" and was required to drink a vast amount of vodka as part of a hazing event. His blood alcohol level was $5$ times over the legal limit by the end of the night. He passed out and died that night. No one attempted to get him medical attention that night. Which of the below is correct about that case?

The court ruled David had assumed a risk by engaging in the drinking activity and, thus, the fraternity nor its officers were liable for his death.

The court ruled both the fraternity AND its officers were liable for David's death.

The court ruled that since David was engaged in an illegal activity as he was underage, the the fraternity nor its officers were liable $-$ but if he had been over the age of $21$ that would have been different.

The court ruled the fraternity was liable for David's death but not the officers of that fraternity $($they had no personal liability$).$
