Indiana U Hazing - two kids in hospital for a week

[Anonymous]

Yes, frats still haze and “bonding” activities could be a hundred different things that don’t risk people’s lives. I don’t even care about self directed drinking but taping drinks into people’s hands and locking them in rooms with large quantities of alcohol and a puke bucket is a dangerous game to play.

These kid suffer from group think. That’s the problem with frats when it comes to hazing.

[i]Results show Greek members engaged in more risky health behaviors (e.g., alcohol use, cigarette smoking, sexual partners, and sex under the influence of alcohol or drugs) than non-Greek members. Greek and non-Greek members did not differ in condom use, unprotected sex, eating, and physical activity behaviors. Implications for prevention and intervention strategies among Greek members are discussed.[/]

That’s like a pretty dumb comparison. One is a necessity for most people. The other is an option. I don’t get the appeal of joining the Greek system, but if it’s going to be a thing-why does hazing have to be a part of it?

It’s a ritual that creates bonding amongst humans. Societies have done this since humans first evolved. Unfortunately, some humans are not good at knowing what’s an appropriate ritual bonding and what’s not.

I totally don’t get this sort of thing. Why is being mean to each other bonding? This is so idiotic to me. I thought that at age 20 and still think so now. Bonding is doing something fun together—not having people that you want to be your friends humiliate you.

Yup, and just a week or two ago, a Rutgers frat house was expelled and issued a cease and desist for hazing that left a pledge hospitalized in critical condition. He was waterboarded; a live electrical wire came into contact with the water and he was electrocuted. Kid was in a coma.

What? What is wrong with people?

Frats attract boys who think that doing this to others is a huge flex. Like this is the biggest thing going for them.
