initially there was no media coverage of our story at all. none. things were kept really quiet.
Then a few news stations and the houston chronicle came to a small protest held on campus, and once the story hit the AP wire things were all over.
I google the subject every few days just to see what people are saying and who's covering it and whatnot. I find it interesting.
Anyway, we're lucky that Rice has never had an alcohol related death. We, the Lax team, made some mistakes, and things like this will never happen again with our team. I think other organizations on campus have learned from our situation as well...
I was under the impression that consent was at least a mitigating circumstance when it came to hazing. I assumed that my friends wouldn't get in trouble for what I did because I knew what I was doing and made a conscious decision as an adult to attend the party and do what I did. Guess I was wrong... Too bad we had to learn that the hard way. But at least no one was seriously hurt.
