Maybe you'd like that better? Because apparently standing up for myself, my organization, and organizations like mine makes you uncomforatable. At least that is MY perception.
So, forcing someone to drink and then leaving them with alcohol poisoning for dead is not violent? And neither is rape? That's "weird...stuff?" But with BGLOs it's violence? That's an interesting concept. And now I'm to believe that White GLOs don't have "violent" hazing? Because I went to a university where they did, males and females. I have a very CLOSE friend who actually won a lawsuit against a White GLO at my university for the very thing that is associated with BGLOs: paddling. And afterwards she was continually threatened whenever she came to campus to visit (because the experience was so bad for her she ended up transferring). That's just weird stuff, though, right?
ETA: You know what? It's topics like these that keep me out of the general forums. No one wants to deal with the ignorance that lurks around here. I think I'll stick to my regular posting patterns from now on.

Wasn't there a thread (I may have started it actually) about this and the media? basically, it talked about how blacks are viewed as being more violent, but whites are viewed in more "less abrasive " terms, even though they each had committed the same crime. I'll have to search for the thread.
Ok, back to topic.......
Hoosier (and anyone else that needs some clarification) if you check out
www.stophazing.org or
www.hazing.hanknuwer.com , you will find your theory of BGLOs being mutually exclusive to violence (and therefore the cause of all greeks getting a bad rap for hazing...
) completely blown out the window.
