Actually, there are some people who get seizures just from listening to music. Not all music but a certain song will trigger a seizure for them. It's just an example of how we need to be aware of every possible situation that may arise when we do anything. Everyone should be able to decide if that risk if worth it for them, it shouldn't be decided for them by saying that they must do something or make them feel as if they have to. Pouring water on someone to, i don't know... whatever reason boys haze, I don't think is worth the risk of someone dying when I'm sure there are other ways to get the same results that are probably safer. Maybe the frat boys wont get erections from those alternate ways, but they are at least safer.
