Thank you for the reply Firehouse.

My son hasn't told me anything and hasn't mentioned hazing. I was concerned because I do remember (when I was in college a long time ago) the kinds of things fraternity pledges were often made to do! Granted, not all fraternities in the 1970's were extreme with hazing, but it wasn't unusual to hear the stories about what pledges had to go through to join a fraternity. All of you know what I'm talking about.

If my son did tell me of hazing activities, I would call the office number you gave in your reply.

I have no reason to believe hazing is going on with the Pike's but as a mom, the possibility crosses your mind. A fraternity at a nearby university is facing a serious court case for possible hazing that left a pledge with brain damage. His parents are suing the fraternity and who could blame them? This is serious business.

Again thank you. I'm glad my son is going to be a PIKE.

Kat
