So is it fair when one organization makes the news for some boneheaded crap that they pull? Hell no. We *all* should be watching eachother and keeping eachother in line.

I would think that all the different GLO's have a risk management policy and a strict no-hazing policy. If what this chapter is doing is true, then yes it should be reported to someone. Just because they are not recognized by the school doesn't exempt them from not being allowed to haze. In some states (I know Texas has this) there are state laws prohibiting hazing.
I agree with what ktsnake says about all watching out for each other. It's all the same.. it doesn't matter if KKY is hazing, or there is something in the paper about another service fraternity, or professional fraternity or even a social fraternity/sorority hazing... it affects the repuations of *all* types of Greeks because just like ktsnake said, not all people know the difference.
This is where Greek unity comes in... if we all watch out for each other, regardless of what GLO we are in, we can help stop this. Hazing should not happen, and it's not fair for *any* Greeks to get a bad repuation because of what one chapter does.
