Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say that the ones I have been involved in would be grandmother/administration/parents friendly, haha.

Also........I just realized, what does a roast like this have to do with pledges or hazing? Usually this activity is for, like I said, big brothers or seniors.

True. Usually an "in-house" event like a big brother roast. But I have attended chapter hosted events where the honoree (member) was "roasted" prior to being presented his award. Administrators and parents are invited and often present at the event.

As a new Sigma Nu pledge class ran across the Meyer Library lobby in the nude last Thursday, a gathered crowd of bemused bystanders and sorority girls gasped and giggled.
“They were clapping and cheering, and a few had their hands over their mouths, saying ‘Oh my god,’” said Chris McCarty ‘09, who witnessed the naked run.

AAAAGH!! (not @ you Jon, @ the author of the article)

It's RITE of passage.

Can we not even expect a student at STANFORD - one of the most prestigious colleges in the US - to use proper grammar anymore?

What's the matter with people??
