I'm not reading it about other GLOs, at least not recently, or that I can remember, and for sure, not in my local paper. Yes, there have been alcohol deaths, and there always will be among college kids. Those often have nothing to do with the organization. What's different here is that these beatings were apparently administered when these pledges didn't know some aspect of the fraternity's history. Therefore, it appears that this is part of their new member education program -- something which is inexcusably stupid.
Here's another link where you won't have to register, it's a different article, but the info is basically the same.

Or he could be responding to the fact that a fraternity member (not identified) was killed. Since I have to register to access the link, I haven't read the whole story. So maybe you could post it here.

That wasn't in the article. I wasn't aware that there was a murder related to this.

In any case, what is your motive for posting this and relegating to just the hazing as opposed to the murder? Again, I can't read the whole article so maybe the relevance is in it?

Didn't know about the murder. I'll reanswer the question as to motive -- it was in my local paper, it was one of the more egregious episodes of hazing I've ever heard of, so I posted it. If Alpha Gamma Rho or Farmhouse or Kappa Alpha Order or Sigma Nu had done the same thing, I would have posted the same article. That it's a BGLO to me is completely irrelevant (although I can see how you'd read "members of some GLOs" to mean that I was picking on BGLOs).
