[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They all do it , schools turn a blind eye to most of it because of the money involved.

Schools are businesses, nothing more.  a relative was killed in a hazing incident, they go through the motions to make people think they are taking care of it but they don't.  [/quote]

I was a sorority member (90's) at a college where a fraternity brother died last week (alcohol related). While I left my sorority time with a mixed view to it, that mixed view was NOT due to hazing. We were a top (objectively - they had no trouble recruiting like others did) sorority on campus. There was zero hazing. None. None of the body shaming type (using marker to ID fat, as I've heard from others). None involving alcohol. None involving shaming or being offensive in any way. The sisters loved the pledges and did everything they could to show it (perhaps to downplay some of the other stuff that I didn't particularly like). But, they set us up on blind dates (voluntarily, nothing against our consent), bought us presents, sang us silly songs, took us to parties (which there was alcohol but never forced), etc. I can say that none of my friends in other sororities on campus also expressed that they experienced hazing.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen. But that was not the case for me or my friends. So I don't think it's automatic that it happens everywhere. [/quote]
