Although it is extremely sad to hear about us losing another chapter... I only hope that it'll show those out there that are still hazing that it's time to shape up. Unfortunately while at College of Chapters there were still several chapters that admitted to stuff (in our groups) that is hazing and they hope to correct it when getting back.

At the last CoC I attended back in (I think) '01, a lot of chapters admitted to hazing as well. At Grand Chapter, it seemed like just about everyone did but us. I think HQ is taking a pretty strong stance as far as changing our culture. It's going to happen a little bit at a time. In 10 years though? I believe we'll be a totally different organization where risk management is concerned.

Wow... never having been to CoC or GC, that's very surprising to hear. I admit I only have a local perspective of how our fraternity handles the issue, but our chapter is EXTREMELY strict about hazing. We practically have to draw straws to determine our Risk Reduction chair because no one wants to be the ball-breaker.
Our Chapter bylaws have strict consequences for offenses, including the immediate notification of Nationals for any hazing related incident.

Wow.. I exaggerate don't I? Bad choice of words. I should say that just about everyone we hung out with was a more.. "traditional" chapter, so to speak. We're talking '02 though. There's been a lot of time to change since then.

Nah from what I saw there were many many many chapters who have I-Weeks, Hell Weeks, etc etc and admitted to activities that can easily be construed as hazing.
I didn't hear any stories of behavior that I felt went to such levels of extremity that I felt immediate action had to be take though....(forced drinking, physical punishment, paddling, servitude, etc) but then again people might be wary about talking with other chapters about those activities. I'd go completely ape if I ever saw one of those four things taking place in my chapter.

Yeah, I suppose it comes down to that. I think if people were to go to these national events, and relying on what they heard, "narc" on their fellow attendees, that we might see the purpose of these national conventions defeated.
My purpose in going to those was to learn things to benefit my own chapter and nothing more. Not being anything more than an officer of my chapter (or alumni chapter), I didn't feel as if a lot of those things were my business.
I agree re: my own chapter though. I have no doubt that we as alums would be happy to pull the plug if anything resembling hazing was taking place.
