I have, but they weren't too far into legal age.
Your point is well taken though. Most people's binge drinking years are from 18-21. I really think it's because younger people only see alcohol at parties and never get a chance to experience it responsibly. People think that since it's already illegal to have one drink, might as well have ten. I think it's crazy that the gov expects people to go off to college and wait till they're 21 (late junior/senior year) to drink! Prohibition breeds binge drinking.

Run for office and fix that. It can't be too hard to win an election in Florida judging by the folks representing them on the national scene

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A University of Central Florida fraternity is under investigation. Sigma Alpha Epsilon has been accused of hazing after three people were taken to the hospital. It's not the first time the frat house has been in hot water.
Accused by whom? It doesn't say.
"We don't know much about what happened to lead them to go to the hospital.
Hmmm...
The three students were treated and released. UCF will talk with doctors to see what made them so sick.
Treated? Treated with what? For what? What's the treatment for drunkeness? Hot coffee?

"Yes, sometimes history for a chapter is included in looking at an appropriate institutional response,"
It seems to be included when writing for a newspaper too. I don't know anything about SAE at UCF, but I know BAD reporting when I see it. These stories are loaded with unsubstantiated inuendos.

Well, that was a really descriptive news report.
To put it bluntly, if they F--K up, then they should be gone from ignorance on their part!  Get rid of them and then go back if they can and re-colonize.
Suddenly, SAE seems to be in the spot light?
SAE IHQ better put a clamp on this and soon.

Earp, you have no idea what went on at the house that night. Did you even read that report? First off notice how it was changed from hazing to "party" also did you notice that it said it is unclear why they were sent to the hospital? Simple, because noone had alcohol poisoning or anything like that. It was called a party becasue it was never clearly established if it was hazing. Would you like to know why? Because every pledge did everything voluntarily, they even said this while being questioned by the police. This is why the law should be questioned and is out of control, a sentence is being set forth when nothing has even clearly being established. Guilty until proven innocent in this case.

From what I recall reading in current laws/policies, you are very correct Jess'.

Yeah I'm aware it's illegal, that is just what I think one of the flaws in the law is. It just seems like an oxymoron to me. You can beat someone in the street and if they drop the charges it's over you know what I'm saying. It's interesting that that option doesn't exist in this law.

Tom;
If one uses a search engine with a news option, one can find stories on more than just SAE. Plug in any GLO and see what comes up.
I have seen a few stories that I just did not wish nor wanted to post.
And National seems to be doing just what they need to be doing. Perhaps in this case, could have waited for some of the dust to settle.

How about you refrain from telling people to shut up? That's up to the moderators or the board administrator.
That's not an opinion.

DeltaAlum;
While I can see your POV, I have to side with my Brother's thoughts as I had simular ideas when I posted my answer. IMHO, the post that you two are dealing with may have gone one line too far.
