I have a son who will most likely attend LSU. He and some friends have recently mentioned they want to join a fraternity.
I know for a fact that if any one laid a hand on ANY of these guys, they would walk. When my husband pledged, the hazing was entirely mental combined with some "sleep depravation". Nothing was physical. I'd prefer he knew what it's REALLY like prior to joining. None of the guys ahead of him pledged. This may be the first year in a long time where the guys are even considering it, so there isn't anyone to guide them. BTW-We are talking high GPA's, honors/clubs sports and real cuties!(inside and out)

I edited my question since after thinking about it I felt it was inappropriate. I would ask that we start with the premis that in some isolated cases, individual members within an organization may not follow policy set down by their HQ's. Here is the new version.
How does a young man find out if a fraternity he is interested in, sees that actives adhere to the "No Hazing" policy? Must he depend on "word of mouth"?
