Luke Morgan Tyler's fundraiser achieves more than the target of $10k
To cover the cost of Luke’s funeral, Washington State University students have managed to raise $10,918 in funds, which is more than their target of $10k. There was a total of 195 donations, as per the GoFundMe website.
It is to be noted that Luke Morgan Tyler was a member of the Theta Chi fraternity, and the group of Luke's friends organized an online petition after his demise. In the petition, they said that Theta Chi should be investigated as the students suspect that the fraternity could be involved in this.
In the petition, the students demanded that "Theta Chi be investigated, shut down, and the fraternity’s president, as well as pledge masters," be investigated for their involvement with the death of Luke Tyler. The petition read:
"On January 22, 2023 Luke Tyler was found dead in his dorm at Washington State university. His death directly followed a long and cruel pledging process allowed by his fraternity, theta chi. Their inhumane and cruel hazing forced Luke, and many others to do things nobody should ever be forced to do.
It added:
"Luke was truly an amazing person with an incredible affect on everyone whose life he touched, he deserves Justice. Please sign to bring awareness to our cause and help bring WSU’s attention to this issue so that those responsible see appropriate consequences, and to help prevent anybody else from being hurt."
The students of WSU further asked people to support Luke Morgan Tyler's family by donating on the GoFundMe page so that his family could cover the funeral charges and other things.
According to reports, officials from Washington State University have not made any remarks on Luke Morgan Tyler's death. However, a university spokesperson said that Interfraternity Council President William McGaughey has zero interest in conducting interviews at the moment.
