The pledge, 20-year-old Coffey, died of alcohol poisoning at an off-campus house party in November. His mother, Sandra, reportedly said in her victim impact statement that Coffey's loved ones "are heartbroken and sickened by what happened to him at Pi Kappa Phi's Big Brother night."

"We talk about Andrew every single day but now we talk about what could have been and what should have been. We cannot believe that he is no longer with us."

Florida State temporarily suspended alcohol and social functions at fraternities and sororities following the incident.

Four other men remain charged and are scheduled to go to trial in June.
