You would be amazed at how many colleges/universities look the other way at hazing on the athletic teams. When I first started as a Greek Advisor, my Vice-Chancellor of Student Affairs summoned me to his office for a meeting on hazing (this was right after the big MIT settlement). He asked me what I was doing with the Greeks in regards to hazing education/prevention, and I rattled off this list of things. The Athletic Director and Asst. Athletic Director were there and he asked them the same question. Their response? Oh, some hazing happens, but it isn't a problem. Four years later, I have yet to see anyone from athletics have to attend a hazing speaker, education program, anything... It is a huge double standard.
