Hazing at Savannah: "washed the feet of others during a worship service."

plus, making someone wash your feet is hazing

I doubt it was done that "willingly"

If it was a fraternity, they would have been baned for ever and the individual brothers would have expelled/suspended. I don't think this group should get any special treatment.

It doesn't say they made pledges wash the actives feet, just that the fraternity washed the feet of "others"

On Holy Thursday, this is a long standing Catholic (and other Christian) tradition. In some churches a lot of people take turns washing feet, in others a group is in charge of it. This was, if anything, a service project.

Just because it's not something you're used to doesn't make it hazing. Nor is it particularly unhygenic as the university claims. It's not necessarily the most pleasant job in the world but that's sort of the point.

Someone is taking their Holy Rolling a little to seriously.


Oh, and Hi, Dale.

Lots of people willingly wash the feet of others. It's a very common practice in a lot of Primitive Baptist congregations. It shows humility. It doesn't seem odd to me at all that people in a group would do that at a worship event. Granted, it would seem odd if I did it, but I know that there are lots of people who think nothing of it.

Ok. So, the main organization's website was quite interesting. They have an event on the "Biblical Perspective of Greekdom."

Guess who is a speaker?

HACHETT!!!

I still think this whole thing was a worship event that was misunderstood.

I love how they list their letters after their names despite later being described as "FORMER MEMBERS"
