Post Our problem, solution?

I would like to start a frank, open, and honest dialogue to tackle the problem of GLOs. So I'll put in my two cents about the problem we are facing:

1. Hazing. This is perhap the most destructive action that has hinder the growth of GLO as a whole. Various people have been killed do to foolishness and disregard for common sense. Just a week or so ago, an individuals was killed in U of Georgia. Many of you wonder how this will effect your school or organization. It will, no longer can we turn a blindside and ignore blatant hazing with reasoning that it's their own thing. Their action will also bring you down. The public does not know the difference between Alpha, Beta, Gamma, etc. They know one thing, somebody was killed and the fraternity has something to do with it. Like it or not, we all face the consequences.

2. Alcohol Abuse.
The Harvard Study is totally bogus. I've seen their method, and as a grad student I would never ever used their standard. According to their standard, 80% of people on my campus, both greeks and non, are binge drinkers. However, the problem is still there. I'm not saying don't drink. It will be highly hypocritical of me. Instead, use your head and drink responsibly.

That is not all, but I hope every one has other problem they would like to confront. Basically my message is simple, during pledging, if you can't do it in front of your mom, and you wouldn't wan't your son or father to go through it, then don't do it.
Drinking, responsibility. Just use your head and think.
