You know, totally aside from the three million dollars that the suit is asking for, according to the Oct. 13 Virginian-Pilot's story --

-- I wonder why the Old Dominion student isn't also suing the entity that owns or controls the "graveyard" where some of the activities allegedly took place -- I stress that these are allegation in a lawsuit. I mean, I am assuming that the fraternity made arrangements with whoever owns or operats or is responsible for the "graveyard" to hold an event there, right? So wouldn't that entity share in the responsibility for safety? Of course, it still seems odd to me that anyone responsible for a "graveyard" would approve of an event (whether "team building" or hazing) that required people to bring along pornography. But maybe they felt it was just borderline tasteless, and not necessarily something closer to disrespect for the dead or desecration. And for all I know, maybe some things occurred elsewhere, not in the "graveyard."
At any rate, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out, if indeed it goes much of anywhere.
