You know, I'm not writing this because I graduated from GBN. I'm not saying this because I knew those girls. My stance on the issue is pretty clearly documented in the thread from a year ago.

I vaguely understood why we discussed the incident a year ago, as those girls were about to graduate and many of them were going to rush. ut I have no idea how it seems relevant to discuss the lawsuits filed a few days ago. It has nothing to do with being Greek. It is not a risk management issue- if anything this belongs in the News forum, although if you consider it news it must be a pretty slow news day in your town.

OH MY GOD! HOLY MOLY! THEY THREW PAPER IN SOME TREES????!!!

We always tp the night before a homecoming game and its something people really look forward to. They can also 'opt out' if their parents don't want it done. I think its great that parents in the community are trying to keep some harmless fun around.

I think since it was a hazing incident, it does belong in the "Risk Management - Hazing & etc." forum. We all know about hazing that goes on in non-greek groups, and I think we can all learn from these incidents, greek-related or not.

And I understand that...that's why I eventually understood the importance of the original thread a year ago.

Talking about the ghey ass lawsuits recently filed does not belong here, IMO.

ITs probably a little vindictive to think that these girls should be punished for the rest of their lives for this.

As far as NPC membership, these girls are probably less likely to haze than anyone else . . .

Quoted from the article: Phyllis Gendelman, whose daughter, Liat, was expelled over the hazing, called the suit "without merit."

"This is America, and America is lawsuit-crazy," she said. "But my daughter never laid a hand on anyone."

Funny thing is, she is apparently forgetting the videotapes of this incident....

Good luck!

Video's and photos can have a definite impact on lawsuits...Trust Me on this!
