Does Cornell exagerate hazing?
The Cornell campus health center website contains this:
"Hazing can be physically, mentally and/or emotionally harmful for students who are hazed or those who haze them. One in three Cornell undergraduates experiences some form of hazing within student groups. These practices_often involve coerced consumption of alcohol, sometimes to the point of life-threatening alcohol poisoning. Gannett provides leadership in the University's efforts to eliminate hazing. Later this semester (Fall '04), you will be able to visit a new website, entitled "hazing.cornell.edu" to:
* learn about hazing at Cornell
* report incidents of hazing
* explore alternative group-building activities
* find out what you can do to prevent hazing.
In the meantime,_for more_information about hazing at Cornell, contact the Dean of Students Office at 255-6839."
Can any Cornell Greek Chatter confirm that this (one in three is hazed?) is true or false?
