Ex-NAU Fraternity Leader Gets 2 Months in Jail for Hazing Death

Two months in jail was imposed on former Northern Arizona University fraternity pledge master Carter Eslick after he pleaded guilty to felony hazing in the Jan. 31 death of freshman Colin Daniel Martinez.
Martinez died of alcohol poisoning at a Delta Tau Delta off-campus house after a hazing ritual in which four pledges drank two bottles of vodka to make themselves vomit; his blood-alcohol content was 0.45%.
Eslick, 20, told the court he takes "full responsibility" for his role in the ritual, while witnesses said they tried to monitor Martinez as he slept and repeatedly adjusted his position.
The sentencing lands amid renewed scrutiny of fraternity safety after two student deaths at Ole Miss and a separate alleged fraternity-linked cocaine distribution ring at Penn State.
