A settlement has been reached in the lawsuit between the family of a St. Mark’s and Lamplighter School student and the fraternity he belonged to at the University of Colorado.
Lynn Gordon Bailey, Jr. died when he and his fellow Chi Psi pledges were marched up a mountain blind folded and forced to drink excessive amounts of alcohol.
Bailey passed out at the fraternity house and later died.
Bailey graduated from Deerfield Academy in Massachusetts in the spring of 2004 but until 10th grade had attended St. Mark’s School of Texas and The Lamplighter School.
Bailey’s mother and stepfather, Leslie and Michael Lanahan created the Gordie Foundation to raise awareness about alcohol abuse and hazing.
The foundation made a documentary about Bailey’s death called HAZE, which will be screened March 27 and 28 at the Magnolia Theatre in the West Village as part of the AFI Dallas International Film Festival.
