History of Hazing

[James]

I think he is saying that hazing in [b]fraternities[/] is comparatively new.

But I also believe we have anti-hazing statements that go back close to the turn of the century so its hard to say.

Maybe its a difference in the severity of hazing? Meaning deaths or reported deaths?

I think the writer contradicts himself. If hazing became prominant after 1850 then how can he say hazing is a recent development? Isn't 1850 about the time when most fraternities started?
