Did anyone else see this??? I was kinda disturbed because for one the boyfriend and the mom were only on there for like 5 minutes literally and also because the boyfriend said something like the saturday before they died that the pledges, or whatever its PC to call them, participated in a similiar event with going to the ocean at night and being bound. This is such a tragedy and I think this was an accident but I don't understand how it seems everyone feels the need to blame someone. If anything is to be blamed its the process, a process that so many people feel like they have to go through to belong and that is quite frankly outdated and almost barbaric. I don't and wont apologize for saying that. Hazing has taking too many precious lives, and you have to put the blame where its due, on old traditions that people feel the must endure and also execute to get the love and respect of their fellow peers. Even the AKAs who were pledging them are a victim of this, can you imagine living with the guilt of being indirectly involved with the death of someone who wanted to be your sister??? Its truly sad that sisterhood and brotherhood has come to this...
