[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Michigan fraternities:

Hospitalizations buried this winter.

Including sexual abuse, torture (involving rear and inanimate objects) and extreme cold conditions while intoxicated - chugging entire bottles of vodka and dropping kids 10 miles from campus with no cell phone or money and requiring them to make their way back. Several hospitalized in January.

Michigan tolerates it openly.[/quote]

Geeds love to publicize these isolated and extreme cases, but 99% of what people call hazing in frats is just good natured fun designed to break down walls and bring the pledge class together. Scavenger hunts, harmless pranks, and the like. You'll probably be subjected to a bit of embarrassment during pledgeship, but honestly, if you can't laugh at yourself, you probably don't belong in a frat.[/quote]

While I agree that a lot is just "good natured fun", it is not 99%.  There is far too much hazing in the greek system (and sports).    Kids are harmed, kids are dying.  It's stupid and really needs to stop.  Kids are not able to stop it themselves, as those going thru it obviously feel the need to be accepted in a "top organization" so much that they are willing to put themselves thru this stupid shit
