University at Buffalo's Sigma Pi Fraternity is at the center of a potential hazing investigation, according to Buffalo Police. 

In the weeks prior, the parents of the late Nolan Burch had been in talks with UB's Greek life to create a forum surrounding the topic. 

"It sounds like the same thing," said Nolan's mother, Kim, who learned of Thursday's events on Custer Avenue via social media. 

According to the University, 18-year-old Sebastian Serafin-Bazan of Port Chester, New York, is the victim who was treated for cardiac arrest and transported to Buffalo General Hospital. 

"It's like a punch in the gut, hearing its in our home town," Kim said.

Back in 2014, Kim and TJ Burch say they felt the same blow when their son, Nolan, also 18 at the time, went into cardiac arrest before his death.

The Burchs told Spectrum News Nolan died following a binge drinking ritual with his West Virginia University Kappa Sigma Fraternity. 

"You just feel like you can't get the message out enough to kids, whether it be a fraternity or not," TJ said.

The Burchs established an anti-hazing program and the NMB Foundation in Nolan's memory. 

"It gets handed down. People are hazed and they feel they need to carry on that tradition," TJ said.

A tradition that has proven to be deadly, especially when alcohol is involved. West Virginia Police say testing determined Nolan's blood alcohol level was .493 — more than six times the legal limit. 

Two West Virginia students, including Nolan's 'big brother' who is from Williamsville, were charged with his death. 

"If you're being made to do things that you know aren't right, you don't have to stick with that. Tell somebody, walk away," Kim said. "I wish I would've known, Nolan just looked exhausted."

Ultimately, the Burchs say no organization is worth you life. 

"An organization that puts your life in danger is not an organization, not anything you want to be a part of," ​TJ said.
