"It was a handle of Jack Daniels that he was handed over and mixed with something. By 10, 10:30, it was said Adam was done with it. He had drank the whole thing," Oakes' cousin, Courtney White, said.

The chapter was suspended after Oakes' death. The incident ultimately resulted in the permanent expulsion of the VCU chapter of Delta Chi.
