I really do understand that these are already in the media and that these issues are useful to other chapters, but it just seems like a lot of this is just over exposed...discussing what happens in these chapters isn't really our business, and this doesn't even seem like discussion. It's just trash talk from a lot of people who want to send out an opinion just to say something. I mean, if we have to actually alert other chapters that we could get in trouble for forcing a group of students to drink large amounts of alcohol then we're just kinda dumb, aren't we? Aren't these things that we already know? Isn't this why we already go to alcohol training? We're not discussing things here, or alerting anyone...we're just talking trash about other chapters who have had problems. That just destroys any sense of loyaty we have. I mean, I realy do think that there are somethings that are traditions that should just leave well enough alone because without traditions and rituals you die...not every chapter takes it to the extreme and we need to realize that. I just can't stand so many people badmouthing their brothers and sisters...especially one's the don't know. And really, hazing isn't even as bad as what people make it out to be. There are extreme cases and they happen, but if people were to take a look at the number of greek chapters across the world and compare it to the number of severe hazing incidents it really wouldn't be that high from what I've seen. I just think that people take a lot of this too far...and it gives us more death and grief then if we would have just supported our brothers and sisters. That is what we are here for is family...and wouldn't you stand behind family no matter what? I would. I understand your position, but please try to understand mine.
