Gamecock Fire Victims Remembered
Posted on November 7th, 2007
Mourners gathered today to remember victims of the October fire that claimed the lives of six students from the University of South Carolina.
The Associated Press says that hundreds of mourners gathered on the campus to lay seven wreaths in memory of the fire's victims - six for the USC students and a seventh for a student from Clemson University who had accompanied the Gamecock students to the beach house where the fire took place. The students were killed in Ocean Isle Beach, N.C.
The website Sanguine et Purpure is one of the few sources I've seen that point out that all 13 residents of the beach house were members of Delta Delta Delta sorority or sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Six of the residents escaped the fire.
