DeltAlum, you've reiterated that comment in all the hazing threads. I would like to suggest that the law is not always representative of society, just because it exists does not mean it's just.
How many times have we broken laws that we consider insiginificant or pointless, e.g. jaywalking....
200 years ago in England there were over a hundred offences in which someone could receive capital punishment, is that just?
The law changes everyday, instead of accepting laws that aren't applicable (e.g. killing a chapter for savenger hunts), why not rally to change them?
Yes there needs to be greater resources with respect to hazing and it does have to be strongly enforced - but not in it's current form.
One last comment and I do not mean any disrespect by this; you've mentioned that your house has been a traditionally strong chapter of Delta Tau Delta. I remember you admitting in so many words that you were hazed since obviously hazing was more prevalent in the 60s & 70s. Would you be able to personally remove your chapter for much-less severe hazing infractions (as stated in Barbara's definition) than what you were exposed to?
