I totally agree. These are the same parents who smoked pot and wallowed naked at Woodstock and then have a fit when they catch their kids having a sip of wine.
If you got anything positive out of your fraternity experience, you owe it to yourself and to your fraternity to change the things that are negative. And you owe it to your children to raise them to have enough self respect not to put up with hazing or any other crap. Keep your hand in and know the deal about which chapters do what (it really isn't that hard) but don't degrade the whole system. THIS is why we have so many great possible members deciding not to join. If that's the kind of chemistry that happens in your brain when you become a parent, I think I'll stay child-free.
