Which brings us back to the fact that if you do something against the rules or the law and something bad happens or you get caught, you're insurance will be cancelled, declared null and void and will not pay. Read the small print.
Political Correctness is a cop out. It is a nice pair of words to blame most of what people don't agree with and/or it is something to hind behind. The reason for the rules is that hazing has been taken way too far -- and like anything else, when that happens the response is often out of proportion to the "crime."
It is attitudes like, "not telling" your national organization and insurance company that not only causes loss of charter -- but higher insurance rates for the entire organization and the fraternity system as a whole.
As I said above, read the other threads in Risk Management.
