Geeds always claim they "refused" to pledge or that they opted out of the Greek system, as though the choice was theirs entirely. Often the reason they didn't pledge was because they didn't get a bid. |
You sound like a complete dbag. So underage drinkers are hardcore criminals? You might just want to homeschool your kid for college. |
? lots of students don't pledge at UMD. -parent of UMD student |
My kid went to UMD because greek life culture was not strong there. |
Not sure if posted before, but this is pretty bad: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/03/19/university-maryland-hazing-allegations/ |
The forcing them to drink vodka and pouring beer on the boy that passed out is ridiculous, and so unsafe. |
UMD has never had good leadership as long as I can remember. Sixty plus years. The current president Pines needs to go. Hopefully, the next one is better |

This should not be happening in 2024. Get rid of them all, and refer perpetrators to law enforcement for prosecution for assault.[/quote] Couldn’t agree more! These allegations are horrendous (burning pledges with cigarettes, making them lay on top of nails, hours of physical abuse). This goes beyond hazing—this is TORTURE. It wouldn’t be acceptable under any other circumstances. Time to treat these criminal operations as such and prosecute for this heinous unlawful conduct. |
