According to the Berkeley Scanner, first responders were called to a fraternity on the 2400 block of Prospect Street shortly before 11:30 p.m. Friday."
"The student was reportedly administered CPR and taken to a nearby hospital. The student's current condition is unknown. UC Berkeley said in a statement that there is an ongoing police investigation; due to privacy laws, the school declined to provide further details. Cal's fraternities and sororities are located off-campus, most with "recognized" status from the university. Recognized groups are "subject to oversight by University staff," according to UC Berkeley. Unrecognized fraternities or sororities often had that status revoked after hazing or alcohol violations."
