Additionally, once you're 18, you're independant and parents will not be liable.

Thank you Mr. Prosser :)

Not trying to bash on any one but, what do you think that the New Members get out of line ups conditioning. What are some example of hazing that is ok with you.

The purpose of line ups and conditioning is for the amusement of the Actives and nothing more. If you want to build brotherhood try Community service or do smthing like a new member vs active challenge course

Wow. I would not make that statement in all states. MSU LAW - example if your 18 and get in an accident DUI and hurt someone. If you are on you parents policy watch out

If MSU Law was referring to my post, I wasn't talking about parents, I was talking about officers, chapter members, advisors, regional directors, etc. People can be named personally.

I have a question for the real lawyers, and not the pretend ones like me:

If somebody was writing stories using the names of real people involved in incidents that were based on real incidents, could those people recover damages for libel, slander, defamation of character, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress?

The can "file" whatever they want. Question is, can u defend it? And, further, can you afford to defend it?

I didn't do anything, it was a hypothetical. If you were a real lawyer, you'd be familiar with those. :D
