Exactly.

JessXica, I am sorry I snapped at you earlier. No need for me to have done that, but macallan25 is echoing my suspicions here.

Macallan25 I think suspects the same thing I do- that this might well be the unilateral action of a few freshmen.

I was a pledge and then active in my GLO at 2 large schools with big, but different, Greek systems. While in grad school at the place where I had reaffiliated during undergrad, I still helped out at my chapter sometimes. And today I am an advisor of that chapter.

My point is that I have been around all this for a long time and it is my experience that often times freshmen, or guys in general, get it in their heads to do something dumb. And if they happen to be aligned with a fraternity, the hazing accusations are almost automatic.

You are right that a reasonable person would look at this and say something to the effect of, "Who would do this on their own? They must have been forced to do it."

That is a reasonable assumption to make. My frustration is that I know otherwise having seen this kind of thing happen before (though usually just some weird random stuff that was not offensive like this.)
