[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm NOT looking for specific schools or frats/sororities.  NOT looking to debate pros/cons.  I'm unfamiliar with the system and my kid may be interested (in future, don't even know specific "house").  So my specific question is...Does physical and or sexual abuse happen within the system as a part of the initiation etc, or is this an out-dated concern?  I'm thinking beatings (hazing), forced drinking, and God knows what else.  I would be thrilled to be told I'm ridiculous to worry about this...but it rattles around in the back of my head and I'd like to have an idea if this is a real concern or not.  Thank you.[/quote]

It definitely does. See this story from last Fall at Dartmouth:

Yes and the mother of the victim said her son called her and said that there was hazing by a sorority to drink until blackout drunk on multiple occasions since he was trying to get an internship the frat had connections to, so he felt he could not leave the frat.

Here's another hazing incident at Dartmouth:

Dartmouth has a huge problem.[/quote]
