[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this primarily a large school thing? I went to a very small school and really never heard anything like this going on. [/quote]

How small is "very small?"

Here is a list of Hazing deaths--and these are just DEATHS, not every instance or even instances that ended in injury.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hazing_deaths_in_the_United_States

There are all kind of schools there--Big schools, small schools, public schools, private schools, Ivy league, HBUC....[/quote]

3500 undergrads. And also I'm a girl. This list is almost entirely men. Men are idiots with terrible judgement. [/quote]

There are schools about that size or smaller than that on the list (Wabash, Rider University-just off the top of my head.)

Yes, mostly men have died.

I hope you don't have any sons.[/quote]

Why do you hope I don't have sons? My husband is a man (obviously) and tells me all the time what an idiot he was in college. They are way more likely to lack impulse control and engage in a mob-mentality behavior than girls are. They are also more likely to think they are invincible. Its important for them to know this. [/quote]

Because you made an insulting comment applying to all males.   YOUR husband is an idiot but not all males are.   My sons are not.
 
FWIW, I hope you don't have daughters either.   People like you and your husband should not procreate.[/quote]

You are really naive to think this couldn't happen to your children. [/quote]

I never said that it couldn't happen to my children.  I said my sons are not idiots.   
Are you saying that everyone that has been hazed is an idiot?  Nice victim blaming.[/quote]

I’m saying the amount of alcohol intentionally consumed in a single evening is idiotic, yes. Good to know your sons are too smart for that. [/quote]

Not all of the hazing involves alcohol.   See above messages regarding branding.   There's also paddling, sleep depravation, intense physical exertion, sexual assault/humiliation, etc.[/quote]
