By Alex Finnis for MailOnline He was forced to drink vinegar until he feared he would throw up blood, and made others swim in pools of vomit and excrement, but now, a reformed frat boy is exposing the sordid and sometimes deadly truths behind life in a college fraternity. Andrew Lohse, a 24-year-old Dartmouth College student, made himself a pariah in 2012 when he wrote a blog post exposing the hazing rituals at his Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, and is now calling for an overhaul of the system. In a new book, 'Confessions of an Ivy League Frat Boy', he has opened up on the vile goings-on which are kept secret by fraternities and are so extreme that they have promising young students dead.
