New Jersey ? Two Rider University officials, including the dean of students, and three students were indicted Friday in the death of a freshman after a drinking binge at a campus fraternity house.

The school dissolved the Phi Kappa Tau chapter Friday, and authorities said the aggravated hazing charges should send a message to students and administrators alike.

“The standards of college life, when it relates to alcohol, need to be policed carefully,” prosecutor Joseph Bocchini Jr. said.

Gary DeVercelly Jr., of Long Beach, Calif., had a blood-alcohol level of 0.426 percent, more than five times New Jersey’s legal limit for driving, when he was pronounced dead March 30 at a Trenton hospital, authorities said. He died the day after drinking at the Phi Kappa Tau house on the private school’s campus in central New Jersey.

Further action related to the officials and students involved is to be decided next week, university spokesman Earle Rommel said.
