[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids were Greek at UVA never personally experienced hazing at any time. My DS chose a fraternity that was known for not hazing and yes there were definitely some houses that did haze and subsequently got in trouble (kicked off). So the answer is yes it still happens but not in every chapter.[/quote]

You won't find out about hazing unless it makes the local news, or your child quits.  I was in a fraternity.  First rule of pledging is you are sworn to secrecy.  General rule of college: don't worry your parents if you can avoid it.  Ask him in 5 years, you might get a different answer about hazing.[/quote]

Also, a lot of stuff that parents/admin/lawyers/juries might call hazing is not thought of as hazing, or it's not thought to be THAT kind of hazing. "We're just teaching them how to drink, we're not locking them in dog cages or anything!" "We're not hazing, but loyalty and helping your brothers when they're in need is what our house is all about, which is why they have to stay up all night learning to recite our 42 founding brother's names and then do all of our laundry."
