It's distressing to see this happening in a chapter that was recently so highly recognized at LSU. I hope the chapter can realign itself with the fraternity's core values and eliminate the hazing.
With nine fraternity chapters at LSU on varying kinds of probation, it does appear that -- as JustaMom and others have posted -- there's something substantially twisted in the campus's fraternity culture.
Sugar and spice's point -- that on many campuses lots of fraternities are "swamped" with risk management problems -- is well taken, though it doesn't bode well for Greek life in general. Hope LSU can lead in raising awareness and improving the situation.
On a completely cynical note, for those of us who believe that "Dilbert" is dead-on accurate about organizational life . . . maybe most of the members who had new members do their homework (as the Associated Press story reports) plan to go into management, where ordering others to do your work is SOP for those too dumb or too lazy to do it themselves.
