I can't believe I just spent hours reading this entire thread. ugh. I'm not even going to comment about any of the hazing as it's already all been said, but as for the "bring back the belt" sentiment, I really disagree.
While it may teach some kids consequences, it teaches others that (as above person stated) hitting people is ok, and still others it teaches ways to get around punishments.
my mother used the belt on me for a good 13 odd years or so, until she realized that during the time she was going to get the belt, I was stuffing toilet paper in my pants to lessen the blow-- then faking that I was hurt.
All I'm really saying is that if parents are involved enough without being forceful, there shouldn't be a need to hit your children.
Especially in the case of the hazing girls. I wonder if their parents hit them?
