The parents are complaining because little innocent Johnnie NEVER would do such a thing on his own. Not their little angel! And heavens no, he doesn't binge drink, have sex, cheat on tests, curse or lie.
Parents want someone else to blame for their kids stupidity. being that the kids are in college, that's the time for some stupidity and body maiming.
If there's more evidence that it was forced upon him, then i'd be in favor of just say no. But it seems like a conscious choice.
Sigma Chi is just trying to cover their ass, and their insurance company's probably breathing down their neck.
While some may feel that if they're paying for their kid's expenses they ought to have a say in how he runs his body and his life, if the kid's 18 there's really nothing legal that can be done. It's great in theory, on some level I agree, but there's nothing to enforce that.
Be mad at your kid for making a bad choice.
