All colleges should have been online this fall with a focus on opening in January. If one student dies at any college, the whole year is going to be over for every college. [/quote]

Nah.  Students die all the time.  Students die from drinking too much or hazing in Greek organizations, but Greek organizations still exist. Nobody cares, unless it's their kid. [/quote]

Students die from drinking with or without Greek life. Self destructive kids will be self destructive kids. [/quote]

Were you in a fraternity?  If so, you're lying with this post. If not, you're ignorant.

I grew up in Wisconsin, where I could get into bars from age 15 on, and we did things like pound a sixpack on the hood of someone's car in the school parking lot at lunch.  Even with that background, the binge drinking that went with being a pledge was more than I ever would have done outside of Greek life.[/quote]

No one ever forced anyone to take a single sip of alcohol. It’s a choice. Young adults who have a weak enough sense of self to drink themselves to near death to win someones approval have bigger lifelong issues than can even be contained within the heading of fraternities and sororities. [/quote]

That’s being too harsh about it.  These are kids that just turned adults.  They have arrived at college and want to belong to a group, fit in, have fun as part of their college experience.  They want to drink to spread their newly found wings.  They don’t start drinking during the hazing, thinking I’ll drink enough during this to possibly die but I’m too desperate to care if I die.  They start drinking, lose their judgement of quantity, want to complete the hazing so they can belong, and are trusting the folks doing the hazing to know when to stop making them drink more.  It’s more on the shoulders of those running the hazing event to have safe judgement and monitoring of the pledges if they choose  to have the pledges do a hazing event.  Since fraternities have proven they are collectively irresponsible in making sure all pledges are safe while haze-drinking, that’s why drinking-based hazing should be eliminated.[/quote]

I was Greek and never forced to drink. No hazing of any kind.[/quote]
