NOW.
Yes, we are all looking at you. For good reason. Same reason we were looking at Colorado State, and Colorado, and Oklahoma, and many other schools last semester. BAD THINGS HAPPENED THERE. No amount of excuses or reasoning will erase that. Chico State is the latest one added to the list.
I'm waiting for someone to STEP UP, MAKE A COMMITTMENT, and TAKE ACTION! Do something different. Undergraduates are the ones that are in the middle of all this...YOU have to give us the answers. I (as a greek advisor) don't want to have to shut down chapters. I want to see the problems fixed. I am so tired of hearing from people "of course hazing goes on here. Everyone knows that."
REFUSE TO CONDONE IT!!
Refuse to have anything to do with the chapters that haze. Put peer pressure on them...make it totally unacceptable. You chapter chooses who they want to socialize with...you don't have to socialize with a group who doesn't live up to your standards (and your greek advisor can't make you). It doesn't have to be a rule...it has to be a choice.
Once again, through a tragedy we have the opportunity to show the world what we are really made of. I'm challenging (no, begging!) ALL Greeks out there....DO SOMETHING!
...or something will be done for you.
(whatever anger you perceive in this message is not focused on any one school, group, or individual. I'm angry about ALL of the behaviors over the past year. Dammit, it's time to stop it!!) . . .

I tend to agree, PsychTau. The
San Francisco Chronicle -- just like probably a ton of other media outlets -- is reporting that the president of Cal State-Chico is considering whether to ban fraternities and sororities entirely. The
Chronicle's story also has details on the hazing. "Sadistic" is the term.
