A wrongful death lawsuit was filed Friday by lawyers for Gary and Julie DeVercelly, whose son Gary
DeVercelly Jr. died in March after a party at the on-campus Phi Kappa Tau house in which authorities
say pledges were urged to consume large quantities of alcohol.
The suit in state Superior Court seeks an unspecified amount of money from Rider, as well as Ohio-based Phi Kappa Tau, and four members of the fraternity's now-defunct Rider chapter.
