Vomit-filled bathrooms and students passed out everywhere: Inside the wild frat party where 20-year-old was found dead

• e-mail

Four fraternities at Texas State have been suspended over the wild frat party where a 20-year-old woman was found dead underneath a bus.

University records reveal authorities found vomit covered bathrooms and passed-out revelers at the off-campus frat party which Jordin Taylor had been attending before she was struck by a shuttle bus and dragged more than 500 feet to her death on October 28.

Police had been called to Cool River Ranch in Houston, Texas, over complaints of noise and underage drinking. But Taylor's body was not found until the next day.

'The investigation found that attendees were intoxicated to the point of being unconscious as they laid on the ground or being intoxicated to the point of throwing up,' a memorandum, seen by My San Antonio, to several of the Texas State fraternities read.

Pi Kappa Alpha, Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Alpha Order and Delta Tau Delta were found to have thrown the event, as well as hazing prospective members and serving minors, according to the memo.

All four frats have been now been suspended. 

Alpha Tau Omega was also found to have texted a chapter member urging them to tell university officials that the party was not one of theirs and to deny drinks were being served from a bar, saying everyone had their own drinks.

But the investigation found the fraternities were responsible for serving beer and boxed wine at the event. It also found the fraternities could not prove they had checked the identification of minors.

University spokesman Matt Flores would not comment on the connection between the fraternity party and Taylor's death, but the date and location of the party match where the 20-year-old student was found dead.

Taylor, an Alpha Delta Pi sorority member, previously favorited a tweet mentioning a party hosted by the fraternities now facing suspension. It did not provide the date or location of the event. 

Guadalupe County Sheriff Arnold Zwicke said that an autopsy showed Taylor's cause of death to be consistent with being hit and dragged by a bus.

Taylor's body was discovered shortly after 1pm on October 29 beneath the vehicle at Cool River Ranch, a concert venue and tubing site near Martindale. 

At around 11.15pm the previous evening, the operator of the shuttle bus reported problems with the vehicle's air braking system, which are now believed to have been caused by the collision with Taylor, reported the stationKXAN. The driver apparently was unaware at the time that the bus had struck someone.

The driver's supervisor instructed him to leave the incapacitated bus where it had come to a stop and transfer students who were on board to another bus, reported KVUE.

The buses were transporting party goers from the venue of the celebration, which according to local reports had been organized by several fraternities.

Neechui Sosa, a senior who attended the event, said there was a large police presence at the site and there were paramedics on hand keeping watch of students. He said the event ended at around 11.30pm.

Mechanics who went back the following day to fix the broken down bus in the 600 block of Dupuy Ranch Road discovered Jordin Taylor's body underneath the rear axle.

Texas State University spokesman Matt Flores said Taylor, of Burleson, Texas, was majoring in respiratory care and was a member of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority.

The Greek organization sent out a tweet that read: ‘Thank you for the condolences during this hard time with the loss our sweet sister, Jordin. All of the love and support means so much.’

She is survived by her father, Joey Taylor, sister Ashtin and brother Dustin. Jordin was preceded in death by her mother, Kara Taylor, who passed away unexpectedly from a brain tumor in 2012 at age 47.

‘You send your kid off to school and you don't anticipate that they're not coming back,’ a devastated Mr Taylor told the station WFAA by phone.

Those who knew Jordin Taylor described her as a kind-hearted young woman with a bubbly personality and an infectious laugh.

Fellow Texas State student Nicole Carter wrote in a tweet accompanying a series of photos depicting Taylor: ‘You left an impact on me and I'll cherish you forever. It's just not fair.’
