Yup, and just a week or two ago, a Rutgers frat house was expelled and issued a cease and desist for hazing that left a pledge hospitalized in critical condition. He was waterboarded; a live electrical wire came into contact with the water and he was electrocuted. Kid was in a coma.

What? What is wrong with people?

Frats attract boys who think that doing this to others is a huge flex. Like this is the biggest thing going for them.

That’s like a pretty dumb comparison. One is a necessity for most people. The other is an option. I don’t get the appeal of joining the Greek system, but if it’s going to be a thing-why does hazing have to be a part of it?

It’s a ritual that creates bonding amongst humans. Societies have done this since humans first evolved. Unfortunately, some humans are not good at knowing what’s an appropriate ritual bonding and what’s not.

I totally don’t get this sort of thing. Why is being mean to each other bonding? This is so idiotic to me. I thought that at age 20 and still think so now. Bonding is doing something fun together—not having people that you want to be your friends humiliate you.

Results show Greek members engaged in more risky health behaviors (e.g., alcohol use, cigarette smoking, sexual partners, and sex under the influence of alcohol or drugs) than non-Greek members. Greek and non-Greek members did not differ in condom use, unprotected sex, eating, and physical activity behaviors. Implications for prevention and intervention strategies among Greek members are discussed.

Yes, frats still haze and “bonding” activities could be a hundred different things that don’t risk people’s lives. I don’t even care about self directed drinking but taping drinks into people’s hands and locking them in rooms with large quantities of alcohol and a puke bucket is a dangerous game to play.

These kid suffer from group think. That’s the problem with frats when it comes to hazing.
