Uconn has a really great system, a great Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affiars and I am confident the University is working with the national orgs to understand what happened, why it happened, and what the appropriate sanctions will be (if any)

There are lots of rumors right now but everyone needs to wait and see what the official investigation has to say.

I doubt it will make much if a difference. UConn is a good school, and I think most people have that "We know how to prevent this nonsense" bravado. That mentality does not go away with age.

UConn Sorority, Frat Members Won't Be Charged In Alleged Hazing Incident-MANSFIELD — State troopers and state police detectives who investigated allegations of hazing against a University of Connecticut sorority and fraternity found no reason to file criminal charges.
Prosecutors in Superior Court in Rockville agreed with those findings and declined to bring any charges against members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority.

I also posted this in the colonies/expansions thread, but it looks like KKG is planning to appeal:

I don't think it warranted removal. The member alleging hazing was initiated and 21. If the hazing was peer pressure and persuasion to drink I'm not sure I think that's hazing.

If a girl was at a party and her friends put pressure to drink, that girl wouldn't turn around and cry hazing. I feel as thought this got labeled hazing because the girls giving pressure were members of the same group.

Also it bothers me she went to the news before KKG, UConn etc...

Was so tempted to start a thread for this related article. So much to pick apart in it.

You may wish to check and correct your link. Article, about nutell, seems to have nothing at all to do with topic.

This could have been a tragedy rather than just an embarrassment and possible charter review for these chapters. If that woman had been left alone in her room with alcohol poisoning, she clearly could have died.
