Racial differences in Hazing.
When I see examples of Hazing for various groups, the types of Hazing differ *greatly* by race and gender.
The following are Heavy tendencies (not always true, but fairly often)
White Fraternities: Hazing generaaly involes alcohol and death occur due to sheer alcohol poisoning. Entire Hazing event takes place within 24 hours.
Black Fraternities: Hazing is generally Physical (with some mental/emotional) stress. Alcohol generally not factor. Physical stress of pledging often long term.
White Sororities: Hazing incidents relatively rare. Often almost mental/emotional involving looks/weight
Black Sororities: Similar to White Sororities, additional physical stresses.
Do you think this is accurate, and does that indicate that work to prevent hazing needs to be tailored to race and gender?
