For some reason, college and university fraternal organizations just will not learn that hazing is banned for a very good reason: It is dangerous.
Such activities as eating insects, being swatted until bloody, downing copious amounts of alcohol or engaging in other risky behaviors may be acceptable on reality TV shows, but it is banned on campus because people get hurt. Some are scarred for life. And people are killed.....
