Interesting article.

Unfortunately, the author forgets that as fraternities, we are businesses first.

Our chief concern, when it comes to hazing, is of course the safety and dignity of our own members. Not far behind that, however, is the cost of insurance which inches up every year, seemingly regardless of what we do.

While it is unlikely that a single incident of hazing is a threat to our organizations as a whole, the lack of available or affordable insurance most certainly is.

What the author does not understand is that pictures such as these, if not addressed by a headquarters could possibly give an insurance company pretty solid ground to deny coverage -- something which could be disastrous.

It's not a "PC" culture which has led most organizations to take such a seemingly absurd stance on hazing, it's just business.
