Because I think there's a real image problem here man. All four of my school's councils went on a retreat together and after playing the stereotype game (yes it's a real game we play, and apparently NIC fraternities are all snobby white date rapists) the elephant in the room was NPHC and their notorious hazing methods (severe beatings, etc).

Now I guess you could take the easy road and pin me as a racist, but you have to admit that there is a hardcore element of physical hazing impressed on the NPHC culture.

Some things remain the same: The "white" NIC houses get busted having "Ghetto Parties" or they force a pledge to drink himself to death and the media goes nuts. The NPHC houses get busted beating the crap out of a pledge and he winds up in the hospital and the media goes nuts.

Now the APhiA thing.....it could be that there is a real epidemic here OR it could be that APhiA gets the most hazing stories because they're the largest BGLO.
