My Fraternity doesn't haze, an' we're proud of this fact. Even though I jest that there are some people who NEED to get hazed just to calm them down. Nor do I agree with many of the hazing laws that are being put out. Like calling them "Pledges" can be considered hazing, or forcing them to do anything they don't want with no lower limit (so asking someone to do you a favor like gettin' somethin' while you're busy etc.)
I'm really glad that this article however pointed out some of the good things that the fraternity has done on campus, pointing out their prominent alumni, and their community service etc. I hope the police investigation doesn't put them in hot water. And if they WERE hazing, I hope that they, and everyone reading this, learns a lesson.

You are worried about the investigation putting them in hot water?
A pledge is dead. He was swimming in a lake at 2 in the morning. You do the math. If he was forced to swim in the lake by members of the fraternity then they should be charged with murder.
