OU? OSU? Ohio or Oklahoma?
As for all the U of Mich stories, it's no surprise that 9 GLOs were investigated and at least 3 closed last year due to those types of behavior. We had a couple U of Mich threads in the Risk Management forum last year and almost a death a year. No deaths this year, no groups shut down for hazing this year. Hopefully it will continue to improve.
ktsnake: In regards to your comments about alcohol and hazing combined, don't forget about the people who died of water intoxication or who suffered from extreme exertion. Back in my day (early to mid 80's), most hazing I saw occur was combined with alcohol. In some cases, groups continued the same behavior but substituted water, thinking that it couldn't hurt to drink tons of water.
As for things like throwing raw meat at new members while they are standing on tables... I just don't see the point. Why would that be fun for anybody? What purpose would it serve? It certainly wouldn't have a place in Alpha Gamma Delta's Purpose, Mission, or Values. And, why would we want our new members dressed oddly in public? I would think we want to show off our new members as the terrific women they are, not as scruffy in underwear shirts and sweats. It just makes no sense to me.
