Ruffin, Judge.
Sonya Tootle sued the Kappa Sigma International Fraternity and its local chapter (collectively “the Fraternity”) for the alleged wrongful death of Ernest Tootle, who was killed in an automobile accident with Clinton Fair. Fair was intoxicated at the time of the accident, and Tootle alleged that under OCGA § 51-1-40 (b) the Fraternity proximately caused the accident because it furnished Fair with alcoholic beverages.
