Thanks for that. The sad fact is that none of this will stop merely becuase there is no more "pledging".
The fact that these events keep happening over and over again is a societal problem, that stems from the early years on up.... As I've said, hazing is a learned trait....
I've done a ton of historical research into fraternities dating back to the 1700s and there are always going to be problems with fraternities in the eyes of the general public, from those that aren't in the system who understand the greater good that can come from organizations like ours.
The real thing to do would not to eliminate pledging to end hazing, but start a nationwide community service where each fraternity and sorority goes into the high schools of our nation and teach them the negatives of what can happen if they continue with these learned traits, and also show them the good that can come from being in a fraternity or sorority.
Greek letter societies should be foremost about FRIENDSHIPS and the rest will work themselves out. Teaching our youth the true values of what Greek letter orgs stand for should be the priority...
