It was on a national news program last night. I was too busy to focus in on it, but apparently the band director had documentation to prove he had let the University know of hazing incidents and had recently (can't remember if it was over the summer or last school year) kicked a large group of members out of the band because of hazing. Based on the rest of the interview it seems that school admin was very complicit in allowing the hazing culture of the band to continue and didn't want to sanction the band from the Florida Classic after hazing had recently been reported.

Purely anecdotal, just thinking about what I've seen, but could be way off.

See my attempt to quantify this and the responses and results that I found at http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...d.php?t=105396

Because that topic had been researched long before you started that thread.

And you ask a lot of questions.

Did you not notice DeltaBetaBaby's question was already answered?

All jokes aside, you started that thread as a rundown of what you read and you asked for comments. What kinds of comments were you really expecting in that thread? LOL.

4 FAMU band members/students were arrested this week for hazing charges (officially) unrelated to the Robert Champion's death.
