yeah I'm not sure either. Perhaps fraternities should come with some sort of waiver. Not that you should be able to do anything to pledges, but seeing as they CHOOSE to pledge a fraternity, they should also have the responsibility of leaving if they decide they need to. If you're old enough to enter a group, you should also be old enough to leave on your own accord. I think a problem arises in that the national HQ's are pushing no hazing so hard, almost to the point of no pledgeship, and incoming students therefore have an expectation. Back in the day when hazing was more accepted, students knew what they were getting into. When we rush kids, we let them know that is isn't all hand holding, that it is tough. For the most part that has kept us from having any problem with students who thought it was gonna be a walkthrough.
