GENESEO, N.Y. — One of three former members of a banned fraternity in western New York has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for his role in the hazing of a college student who died of alcohol poisoning.
Daniel Wech, a 21-year-old from Buffalo, will spend three months of weekends in jail.
He pleaded guilty to unlawfully dealing with a child for allowing alcohol to be served to 19-year-old Arman Partamian during a drinking session at the State University of New York in Geneseo.
Partamian, a sophomore from Queens, was found dead March 1 after drinking heavily for three days to gain membership in the off-campus fraternity.
Two other students are charged with hazing and criminally negligent homicide, a felony.
