Where is the common sense?
My daughter told me at LSU the depledging in a couple of fraternities is kind of high.(15 or 17 for one) She has seen pledges who had the the crp beat out of them. Others, it's a mental thing, answer correctly or you do something that appears to be gross but really isn't. I can see why this is debatable-it's a matter of degree. BUT-there are IDIOTS in some of these orgs that cause real harm to pledges. It is unacceptable to place ANYONE in harms way!
However...
When you apply for a job you are expected to know something about the industry. They have training sessions and if you don't learn the information, you are "let go". To allow someone to just skate through without understanding the history is detrimental to the organization. Tom and Billy are right about things being too "PC". Nationals has a real concern however. Maybe part of this discussion belongs under Frivolous Lawsuits.
