Legislated as Anti-Hazing: nope
While each campus may or may not have anti-hazing policies within the student code of conduct, official (non-academic bodies) do not get involved unless some civil law is violated: such as assault or the like... and the "victim" is willing to press charges

Damn, stereotype much?
I think is completely inaccurate. It is not hard for ANYONE in college to get alcohol, even if they are under 21. It doesn't matter if you are greek or not... Almost everyone knows someone who can buy for them....
I'm sorry but I found that to be an ignorant statement.

While it may be perhaps stereotypical it really isn't ignorant... it's more of a reflection on the difference in culture when it comes to drinking - a statement that I'm sure many GLO members from the US that are now in Canada will back-up.
Comparatively speaking it is difficult for someone under 21 to obtain alcohol in the US (okay, well in certain states) in comparison to the difficulty in someone say 18-19 in getting there hands on it up here. While Canadian campuses have been moving twoards a more "dry" enviroment it is still a long ways away from the even the comparatively "puritan" conditions at even the 'party' schools...
An example of this would have been a favourite of mine to point out to consultants - the fact that up until 3 years ago your college residence fee covered a sanctioned "kegger" a month within the residence as a "pre-pib" before heading out... this of course pales compared to another "elite" college on campus where smoking-up in the Junior Common Room is technically acceptable to the administration - as well as the weekly booze fests hosted there
