If he had the bad luck to attend a campus with some rogue undergrad members, why shouldn't he still want to join...and once he had joined, why shouldn't he ask those responsible for his injuries to accept the consequences of their actions?

Is this what happened? Who knows. But to me, it's plausible.

I feel you! I completely agree with him calling those members on his campus out on their behavior (why don't more people sue the INDIVIDUALS responsible, i/o the org?) but he was complicit in that behavior while it was going on. I think my bigger problem is with LETTING SOMEONE D--N NEAR KILL YOU to begin with!!! That is just so crazy to me, that I don't understand why you'd let someone do that to you. Period. In my opinion, if you're allowing someone to beat you to a bloody pulp to join an organization, your motives and mindset are suspect, because that's not what ANY org is about. How can he really say he loves KAPsi that much, when he was participating in actions run by people who were spitting in the face of everything KAPsi stands for? I just don't know... the whole situation is just sad on so many levels...
