Fraternities came under fire yet again this week after several chapters nationwide were involved in hazing and drug-related incidents.
Ten students from the New Orleans university are now facing felony battery charges after the Wednesday incident, which was reportedly intended to give pledges an opportunity to prove their pain threshold, according to The Associated Press. The incident occurred during "Hell Week," when fraternities try out prospective members.
Earlier this week, San Diego State University suspended six fraternities after drug enforcement authorities arrested several of the chapter's students on suspicion of dealing drugs on campus."

The questions aren't all new, but I think were inevitable after the San Diego State situation and a few other recent problems.

I think the system needs some revision. At my college it was incredibly tough to get our chapter started, as I had previously stated in another thread, because of past events involving greeks. I think it depends on the severity of the occurence and the frequency of such occurences.
