The reality is that some chapters of GLOs haze. I don't think that it is unique to or more prevalent in one conference, NPHC in this case, as some have posted. I think that all conferences and GLOs have programs to help eliminate hazing. Unfortunately, there are still hazing incidents all over the country that do not get reported unless someone is injured, killed, or arrested. A poll can help get more accurate information. ABC News wants this information not to help eliminate hazing, but to have a story. I don't even think that this story is specific to greeks in general. I think that contacting ABC News is a bad idea. Allow your Headquarters to do so.
Recently in NY, the news has been covering a terrible hazing incident involving a High School football team from Long Island. They were at football camp where the older members allegedly sodomized their younger teammates with foreign objects such as broomsticks and pinecones. (What on earth went through these teenagers' minds to make them think that forced sodomy is how to build a stronger football team?) My point is I wouldn't be surprised if this had been going on for years at this, as well as other schools, just like Powder Puff a few months ago. It took an injury that required medical attention for people to know what happened to these football players.
