[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now UMD is saying they will choose to interview members and that you will receive a notice if you were selected.

If hazing is as rampant at UMD as people make it out to be, this should be [b]very scary for everyone[/b] in the system.

Why? Because they are finally trying to change something awful? Or because now people are going to be held accountable for hazing and you don't think they should be? To me, if this is true, this signals a very measured approach of trying to understand what is going on so they don't jump to any conclusions or unnecessarily suspend fraternities if no wrongdoing can be documented. Honestly, I don't see why so many supporters of Fraternities aren't applauding this level of attention to something harmful and dangerous. [/quote]

The problem is what protections will the people who speak out get? Let’s say you are a full member and you witnessed hazing and came forward. Will you be kicked out of your frat? Will you fail all your classes due to UMD’s code of conduct? Will your frat members find out that you said something and will you be threatened ? Or do you lie and follow the code of silence? What happens if someone else speaks out and you don’t?

All frats engage in illegal activity. At a minimum they provide alcohol to underage students, which is a crime.

While I believe there needs to be Greek reform, these issues extend well past extreme hazing. [/quote]
