**Two Dartmouth Students Charged in Tragic Death of Fellow Student**

Authorities in New Hampshire have brought charges against two Dartmouth College students following the death of 20-year-old Won Jang, whose body was discovered in the Connecticut River in July after attending an off-campus party. The Hanover Police Department identified the accused as Matthew Catrambone and Samuel Terry, both members of the Beta Alpha Omega fraternity. They face misdemeanor charges for furnishing alcohol to Jang, who was underage at the time.

Jang attended a gathering organized by the Alpha Phi sorority on July 6, where alcohol was reportedly served to minors. Both Dartmouth's Alpha Phi sorority and the Beta Alpha Omega fraternity have been implicated in the incident. The night tragically concluded with several partygoers, including Jang, making a spontaneous decision to swim in the river during a heavy rainstorm. Jang, unable to swim, was ultimately separated from the group and drowned.

On July 7, search and rescue teams recovered Jang's body, and an autopsy conducted by the New Hampshire Chief Medical Examiner confirmed drowning as the cause of death. Toxicology reports revealed that Jang’s blood alcohol concentration was 0.167 at the time of his demise.

In light of this tragedy, Dartmouth College suspended both Alpha Phi and Beta Alpha Omega and expressed its grief over the loss. A statement from Dartmouth emphasized the institution's commitment to providing counseling and support to Jang’s family and friends.

Despite some anonymous tips alleging hazing might have contributed to Jang’s death, Hanover Police Chief Charles Dennis confirmed that hazing was not a factor. A spokesperson for Dartmouth reaffirmed the college's expectation that Greek organizations prioritize the safety and well-being of their members and the wider student body.

Dartmouth has undertaken measures to enhance safety on campus, including increased security, better lighting, and clearer signage around its swimming docks. However, the college has refrained from commenting on individual disciplinary actions due to federal regulations.

One Dartmouth student highlighted ongoing efforts within Greek organizations to foster a safer environment, expressing hope that such initiatives will prevent future tragedies.
