This is the first post I have found extremely interesting in a long time. EM, I must say I met a few of your brothers at GA and they were good guys that took fraternity education and ideals very seriously and really impressed me. I sat next to one of your brothers at GA, I cannot remember his name but we talked awhile about our chapters history and so forth. We had a lot in common, all Lambda Chi Alpha chapters should see their common traits more than their differences.
One thing I have noticed when I visit other Lambda Chi Alpha chapters is hazing is usually not a part of them. I really do not think it is fair to give southern chapters, especially SEC schools a reputation for hazing because that is called a stereotype. I have been to almost 1/2 the chapters we have in the SEC and they are solid chapters that do not haze. LSU got in trouble last year for some misbehavior but they are really straightening things out overthere after meeting a few of their brothers at GA and talking to their advisor.
Overall, hazing when it occurs happens all over the country, not just the South, the area of the country that gets blamed for most of the countries problems, a place that is considered backwards and old school. All I can say is most of the chapters I have visited in THE SOUTH show great brotherhood, a passion for the traditions, principles and ideals for Lambda Chi Alpha and respect for our fraternity as a whole.
