I am sadden by the changes made to the intake/pledging process. Years ago I dreamed that if I had a daughter she would pledge like I did. I dreamed I would be there on campus when she "came out" sing the ivy song and strutting for AKA. But, you must realize that money talks and bull---- walks. Hazing only became an issue when parents started sueing universities and colleges and fraternities and sororities holding them liable for personal injuries sustained by their children during the pledging process. In 1984 when I pledged, our chapter was insured for $1 million by Lords of London. Insurance companies are the most lucrative unregulated businesses and they would not loose millions at the hands of college students. At that time in my life I thought nothing of this. But now as parent I think differently.
