Everyone should be able to decide if that risk if worth it for them, it shouldn't be decided for them by saying that they must do something or make them feel as if they have to. Pouring water on someone to, i don't know... whatever reason boys haze, I don't think is worth the risk of someone dying when I'm sure there are other ways to get the same results that are probably safer. Maybe the frat boys wont get erections from those alternate ways, but they are at least safer.

very true jessicaelaine. even some light colors, patterns & movements have been found to cause people problems.
and for those who seem to think that this (hazing) is the way to get to know a person, to bond with them, i have a story for ya.
a group of of about 12 people were in the tv room watching some event when one person suddenly had a seizure. scared everyone out of their minds. individual recoved and told everyone that they were ok and that they were sorry that they scared everyone and that they had not taken their anti-epilepsy medication. this person was not a pledge but a third year active member. and about half the other people in the room had known them since before high school. no one had a clue about the persons medical condition. i was there and still recall the situation real well.
and yes, we took them to the hospital for a check-up.
