I would be surprised if the administration, given recent events, didn't take those claims (as unsubstantiated as they may be) and launch investigations with them. That article combined with the paper stealing crap (which I HOPE TO GOD wasn't anyone Greek's doing) is going to provoke something draconian yet.

Because some/many/most non Greeks may not understand the difference between a chapter's "traditions" and an inter/national fraternity rituals, and unless the author knows it is truly part of the ritual of an inter/national fraternity, I wish reporters would write something more accurate when reporting these types of incidents.

For example, regarding the bolded above. Perhaps say "... his fraternity *chapter* practiced a hazing *tradition* where he was...". Or even "... his fraternity practiced a *chapter* hazing ritual where he was..."

This would definitely give the administration some food for thought. There is way too much information being stated about hazing & chapter rituals!!!!!:eek:


TSteven:
The incident sent ... brother, to the Boca Raton Community Hospital emergency room after his fraternity practiced a hazing ritual where he was kidnapped and forced to drink large amounts of alcohol.

Heee Hee Hee! And there is someone posting in this thread named Preston!

Dude, that article is ridiculous. It's like, hey, are you a sigep and wanna toss the shit around about other groups? Well come on in!!! It's absolutely insane that any reputable news outlet would publish a bunch of hearsay and horseshit.
