i go to SDSU and am actually quite good friends with the president of Sig Ep, the chapter that we are discussing. Although i dont think that i know the kid by name, im sure i would recognize him if i saw him. from what i understand, i may be wrong, he felt pressured into taking part in the ritual of his chapter. Being a fellow president, i know that if someone ever came to me and said they felt uncomfortable with the ritual, i would not pressure or try to convine someone otherwise. we all join fraternities for our own reasons, and even though many are religious based, many people do join for other reasons, and not agreeing with the ritual should not be something that turns you away from the chapter. The sig eps here at state are a great group of guys with a clean track record, and im sure if this guy approached their president, he would have been more than happy to make his brother feel more comfortable. By suing the chapter, he not only brings unwanted attention to a group of guys im sure he still has some feelings for, but makes the whole thing look like a stupid ploy to get some money.
