Update on K A Psi FAMU Hazing Incident

[marquise1911]

I believe that the MIP needs to be revamped. What the MIP has become is a massive photocopy machine that each of our perspective organizations are using to spew out members who do absolutely nothing for our frats/sororities, but wear t-shirts. Pledging has been push deep underground and is being compressed into short periods of time. Old heads talk about how long they were on line and what they went through. Commonly I speak to "old heads" that I have been through more than and endured in 2/3 or some cases 1/2 the time they did. What would have been done in 12-14 weeks is being done in 6-9 weeks. No wonder people are being hurt. Trust that they are being hurt more frequently now than before, but few cases are reported. There has not been a semester where I have not seen blood leading to one of the frat rooms or heard of someone "falling down the stairs" and having to be rushed to the emergency room. The more we think that this MIP is working, the more you will see that our D9 organizations will be fading and disappearing (although there will still be t-shirts present). I know people who are so afraid to even submit applications because of the nonsense that they heard. When did having skin burned off your back make you more of a brother? This and other happenings are unheard of in the past.

Pledging doesn't need to be eliminated, it needs to be controlled.
