Anyone Hear of a Hazing incident at UNF?

Tom, what information have you heard?

I went to that university's website and school newspaper and there was nothing posted about a hazing incident.

R R, cant really say where I got it, but, I hope it is wrong!

Qed on it for a Ap. Fool Joke and said it wasnt!

The university's website is www.unf.edu. Maybe we can monitor that website for more info. If I find anything I will email you before posting it here.

I've been hearing talk about this for a week so I'm guessing it's not April Fools. I still havent heard any details.

Plus here is that chapter's website.

In today's oddball overly sensitive environment, who knows what this is about.

...."However, a UNF pledge at Lambda Chi Alpha says he wasn't having fun when he decided to 'go greek.' "

In other News...

... I didnt have fun pruning my trees today & taking the clippings to the street either, maybe I should report that to the town council as well? Perhaps the local sheriff could cut my trees down so I'm not at risk of not being "arbor hazed", and the recycling administrator can be investigated for making me move branches 175 feet as well, I mean I DIDNT want to move those branches and I was made to.

UNF student accuses fraternity of hazing
Last Update: 4/1/2006 8:51:27 AM


Hazing is a secret and often dangerous tradition that sometimes happens on college campuses around the country. Now, the University of North Florida is in the spotlight after a student says one fraternity took things too far.

“There's this picture of fraternities that we drink all the time and we haze," says Britt Traynham, a Kappa Sigma fraternity member at UNF.

Traynham says those things aren’t what fraternitys stand for.

“We do a lot of stuff for the community. It's not just all about drinking, it's not just all about partying and having a fun."

However, a UNF pledge at Lambda Chi Alpha says he wasn't having fun when he decided to 'go greek.'

He has complained to administrators that Lambda Chi Alpha hazed him during initiation this month, something that is against school rules.

UNF officials say they followed procedure and passed the investigation on to the Lambda Chi Alpha national chapter.

So far, the president of the chapter has refused to give a statement about what happened. So, for now, the question remains, was a pledge hazed? If so, will the fraternity give "greek life" another black eye?

It remains unknown what exactly the pledge in question says the fraternity did to him that would constitute hazing. Until now, officials have only confirmed that an investigation was happening.

The national chapter will continue to investigate, then decide if any punishment should be laid against the fraternity. After that, they'll report back to UNF who will decide if more discipline needs to be handed out.

If this proves to be true then the chapter MUST face serious consequences.

We know the rules, we know what is acceptable and what is wrong. Any violation must be addressed, and addressed quickly. We cannot tolerate hazing in any way, shape or form. It puts the entire Fraternity at risk because it undermines our credibility.

And it is wrong.

see what i mean, tom, about the attitude of brothers these days...

Damn I hope this guy is a troll... I seriously hope so, otherwise :eek:

And some of us serve as High Pi and are Order of Merit recipients.

PMed this person and will wait to see if anything comeing back.

If not, I will delete His Post or edit it for cleaning his hands in the bowl.:)

Speaking of bowls, I think he may need a swirly.

From what I understand, they've overcome it to such an extent, they are now closed. I dont know the specifics, if HQ has suspended them indefinately, or if the GHZ has taken action on it and declared their charter inactive, but i understand they are now "CLOSED".

This cat knew this too when he posted it. If he is even from UNF.

Feel free to call 8741 and verify if you got the minutes.

This is intersting to hear as I and He had PMed each other and nothing was said.

lifesaver, can you or anyone else confirm this ?

We all hate to see a Zeta Closed, but if it is due from not abiding, then it is due!:o
