Thanks for posting the link! This is worth the watch.

I found it interesting that during the interview of sixteen parents of students who died, they asked them whether they believe Greek life should be abolished, and I think only three of them raised their hands (and not quickly). One of them pointed out that they would like to work with fraternities to ensure this doesn't continue to happen going forward.

It was truly heartbreaking to listen to these parents. The worst was when they all acknowledged that if the fraternity brothers had gotten their sons help at the first sign of trouble, they'd likely all be alive today.

I think this is a huge part of the problem - the fear of repercussions. Hazing/alcohol education needs to also focus on the fact that you can't on your own fix an unconscious person who has a blood alcohol level 3 to 5 times the legal limit. Essentially, your only two options are: 1) get them to a hospital, 2) watch them die. There is no coverup or pretending like it didn't happen at that point.

ETA: this was the first I had heard of the organization PUSH - Parents United to Stop Hazing. Does anyone have any information about this group? I wasn't able to track down a website.
