WHOA!!!
The elimination of undergraduate chapters will not eliminate hazing. In my opinion, three things are required internally:
1) more rigorous screening process, ie background checks, 2 letters of rec, multistep interview process, etc
2) more indepth certification process for those responsible for conducting the intake
3) reinstatement of a longer, more aboveground pledge process w/ severe penalties (expulsion, criminal prosecution) for those who are proven to recklessly or maliciously endanger a candidate
By taking these steps, we can eventually eliminate hazers within our ranks and screen the orgs from this type of liability. The corporate entities of our org cannot be responsible for those who are unrecognized. Unfortunately, non-Greeks are just as much to blame for this whole 'respect' aspect of intake.
