The Hazing Tradition

EW-Still waiting for your answer to this:

And if I were thinking of going to your school (which BTB was not and never has been on my radar) just what would make me interested in even talking to you?

And please do not even bring to the table anything about money.
Perhaps that is not fair as most likely that is what is going to be needed to cover
bills for damages and law suits.

True, to a point DSTCHAOS. However I would rather hear EW's confession, umm explanation to it. As his posting seems to indicate a great deal more.
Or is it, the posting, just puffing up like a peacock or blow-fish???

Stuff happens.

Many people know stuff about various chapters of their own or of other GLOs through casual conversation and other unofficial and even offical means of accessing info.

It's not like you can follow-up on his investigative reporting. Or can you?

Something disturbs me when I hear about Chapters bolting from thier Nationals and wonder why? Because they have rules to follow that are changed because of all the hazing that has taken place and the hue and cry to correct it along with all of the States who are invoking laws because of the hazing.

I do not care if it is a female or male GLO and to say male GLOs are more into it is calling wolf.

Since I only know LXAs even though I have read two others, no where did I see any hazing that was listed in them.

Again, I do not know how other GLOs work, but any changes in LXA have to be approved by the members at our National conferences, not by the Officers at HQs.

If your GLO does not have this, then I think you should ask why and have it changed. Of course, it is always easier to blame HQ and not the individuals themselves.
