It is clear that there have been significant problems on this campus, outside of SAE also. The first article link works and this is from that one:
The incident is not the first of controversies to hit the Greek community. Last December, an 18-year-old female student told police a man raped her at the SAE fraternity house, located at 4 Fraternity Row, but later decided not to press charges.
Alexander Klochkoff, a 20-year-old university student and member of SAE, was found unconscious on the fraternity's porch Sept. 5, 2001, and was later pronounced dead. Club drug gamma hydroxybutrate, or GHB, was listed as a contributing factor in his death, according to the medical report.
Phi Sigma Kappa pledge Daniel Reardon was found unconscious outside the fraternity's house Feb. 8, 2002 and died a week later. Reports that hazing contributed to the student's death were not confirmed; however, new chapter members were in a room of the fraternity's former house at 7 Fraternity Row drinking bourbon the night before Reardon was found.
In 2002, Dave Westol, a former fraternity hazer and current advocate against hazing, spoke to several hundred members of the Greek community using hypothetical examples to show how hazing can lead - and in some cases has led - to death.
So, no, they don't learn. The U of Mich article posted in this forum illustrates this too. They had deaths two years in a row, are trying to to fight the administration on imposed regulations about having a house mother in every house, deferred recruitment and alcohol free housing, yet at the same time, they continue to haze and break the rules. How do they expect to convince anybody that they deserve respect and autonomy if they can't obey the law?
