... 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.
