This is so frustrating on both sides....
the girls who were actually engaging in hazing, and the girls who "expected to be mildly hazed" but paid to go and get hazed anyway.
i just don't understand why they would go knowing there would be bad stuff going on?
if no one would have shown up, maybe the 'tradition' wouldn't have carried over ?
at my high school, the band had a *somewhat* similiar situation. There was always an off-campus football game between the band seniors and the band sophomores (game was for males only, and at my district, freshmen were in junior high at the time) It went on for about 4 years and became somewhat of a tradition. Nothing in the articles happened at my school, just a regular football game that was on the rough side, considering no one was wearing all the protective gear. No one from my sophomore class showed up because everyone knew how rough the seniors were planning on playing (and they didn't want to end up on crutches or with broken bones).. and since then the football games have stopped. So why can't these girls wisen up and just not go if they knew what was going to happen?!
