I am proud of LXA and its no haze rule started in 1985. It is enforced as it should be!
I find also there is a responsabilty of Alums to help moniter this in their chapters. This BS of I went through it and was good enough for me is good enough for them is WRONG, WRONG!
I feel a responsability of helping keep my chapter on the up and up period!
Sigma Alpha Espilon does not seem to be one of those Tom-This following is on the public section of National's page. Placed there as part of a legal settlement.
Chapter HEALTH & SAFETY History-Below is a list of all open Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapters with any health-and-safety incidents for the past five years. http://www.sae.net/2013/pages/resour...gement-history

Sadly it is all too easy to say that National XYZ enforces it's anti-hazing/RM violation regulation. Just do a search on hazing or just look at the rest of this section.

Schools, Nationals, and even local/State agencies can only efforts laws and regulations once they are aware of them. Someone at the Chapter has to speak up and say something, tell someone. I know that there is an 800 report line. Anyone reading about hazing knows all too well the number of reasons people do not speak up until it is too late. And that includes Alum and Alum advisers.
