Very sad story indeed. I don't disagree that the events the fraternity made Carrington do were considered hazing (at least from my perspective), but the situation could have been more complicated.
- Did the pledge have a prior history of seizures or epilepsy? (Yes, everything listed can cause a seizure to occur, but the keyword is can.)
Myself an epileptic, I had my first seizure at 20, strangely enough during a Brotherhood night with pledges. However, there was strictly no hazing occuring and it was just a freak accident. But my neurologist mentioned that a common onset age is around 20, or in the early twenties.
So...?
