PIKES ON CNN: TORTURE at TULANE
Was just watching the news and one our favorite "pseudo-Greeks" came on--Alexandra Robbins. She was being interviewd about the Tulane Pike trainwreck on a story entitled: TORTURE at TULANE. CNN Prime Time showed all the footage of the Pikes being cuffed and herded into the paddy wagon and then more pictures of them and the Tulane campus. They talked about other hazing stories that were going on, including the incident at U.of Tennessee last year.
Then the reporter asked Robbins about her take. She said that she found out with sororities that when campus rules clashed with national chapter rules, the national office rules always trumped the campus ones. While she did not SAY that nationals OKed hazing, that was the undertone, at least to me.
The reporter went on to say that if these guys were out of college, they'd all be charged with major crimes and in jail for a long time. They she talked about Greeks living in a "fantasy" world of college with no responsibilities, etc. There may be a follow up later on; it sounded like this was only a prelude, maybe to a longer story.
UGLY, UGLY, UGLY! (both the story and Robbins' ridiculous take on "Greek entitlement")
