UConn Hazing

[Kevin]

The more I think about it, the more bogus it seems. Putting myself in the shoes of the alleged victim, let's say I wake up in the hospital after a night of extreme partying, maybe even some hazing. My first instinct would be to thank whoever put the entire organization on the line by getting me potentially life saving medical treatment.

That's actually the real issue I have with this thing blowing up the way it has. It tells our undergrads (who are college students and underage drinking is always going to happen with college students, greek or non-greek) that if they suspect one of their brother/sisters has overimbibed to the point of needing medical attention, that if they seek that medical attention, they are probably going to lose their charter and even face discipline on campus... and hell... maybe even Gloria Allred will spew some bile about them on Nancy Grace.

Our respective HQs and even state legislators need to look at policies granting immunity to individuals and organizations who procure medical treatment for individuals who have overimbibed. This current policy of creating severe consequences for doing the right thing is going to get people killed if it hasn't already.
