57 men in a Cornell group chat. Zero courage at 1:42 am
At 1:42 a.m., a message appeared in a Snapchat group of 57 fraternity brothers at Cornell University. We have now learned that a 20-year-old woman was heavily intoxicated at the frat house and, as the lawsuit alleges, unable to give consent.

'Do something greater.' Athens HS teen 3rd sibling to make Eagle Scout
Earning an Eagle Scout award is typically the pinnacle of a Scout's career, but for Holden McKeever, he was barely getting started. McKeever, from Bentley Creek in Bradford County and a senior at Athens Area High School, actually qualified for his Eagle rank three years ago when he was 14, but he didn't want recognition for it — at least not yet. Instead, McKeever wanted to earn as many merit badges as possible, and while he only needed 23 to earn his Eagle badge, he is currently at 141 out of 143 possible badges. "For me, it was something — I wanted to do something greater," said McKeever, now 17. "I still want to do something more. I didn't want that to be it." Some of McKeever's motivation might come from the fact that several other family members are Eagle Scouts — including his sister Abigail, who became the first girl from the Five Rivers Council to achieve that rank after the Boy Scouts of America (now known as Scouting America) started accepting girls as members. Local history A quick history of Miller's Pond, from early land grant to today But McKeever is also an overachiever in his own right,
