Let's not jump to too many conclusions here. Let's consider the chapter innocent until the police report comes out. I think that's one of the tenants our country was founded on.
This is a tragedy.
It was a tragedy last year when a freshman at at my alma mater got drunk, stumbled into a river and drowned. He was not Greek and not at a Greek party that night. He made a really bad decision and drank too much. He paid a terrible price.
Just before I met my wife, she had been out drinking with some friends. She had no experience with alcohol and ended up in the health center with alcohol poisoning. She has never been Greek. (Fortunately, she was OK.)
Delt does not condone Hazing. Am I foolish enough to think there is NO hazing anywhere in the fraternity? Nope. But as a Division VP, if I discover any in my chapters -- they're history. Period.
My point it that the chapter in question MAY be guilty of hazing. And they MAY NOT. Let's not rush to judgement and convict them by inuendo. They deserve due process.
