Today Show Hazing Segment...
 

I watched the Today Show segment this morning. I thought it was helpful for parents to understand that hazing happens at all levels in academia, and cautions them to help prepare their children for potential situations in elementary school and on. If parents can raise their kids to make good decisions and walk away/say no when that child is asked to do something he knows is hurtful to himself or others, I applaud those parents and the Today Show. The segment did mention that hazing IS not something that just happens in fraternity houses.

I think that the word is starting to get out -- allbeit slowly -- that hazing isn't something that just happens in the Greek System.

Actually, it's something we (meaning everyone) already know, but just don't think about.

Pretty much everyone has been hazed in school, sports, clubs, marching bands, the military, etc. They just don't think to label it as such.

What that doesn't mean, though, is that we can relax our efforts to end hazing in our chapters. Now that we're getting a little help from things like TODAY, let's not screw it up.

ETA that I didn't really edit adpiucf's post -- just moved it from another thread and started this one with it because it seemed it would get lost in its original position.

A++++++ on move!
