Leaving NPC

[carnation]

Hi, AOIIAngel! Until 4-5 years ago, there were 3 local groups at Shorter and they hazed viciously. I started a thread back then--something like "Nationals at my College"?--anyway, I taught there back then. The thread tracked the change of one group to Phi Mu and the addition of Zeta. Ep Sig stayed local due to intense alum pressure and Pi Sig folded. I think the thread talked about the hazing as well.

If this local is not something the students want, it will die on its own.

If there are still students who are dumb and want to participate in hazing, they have a place to go.

You can't legislate or NPC away stupid. Methinks if the alum pressure was that intense and the actives bowed to it, they'd still be doing all this stuff even if they had gone with an NPC group.

What a lot of folks on campus say is that the women who can't afford the nationals pledge the local, not knowing the difference, and then the local hazes the snot out of them. Next round of recruitment, same thing happens with a new group of victims, er, new members. I hope it's not true.

$$ issues or not, if they stick around to be hazed, then they are stupid. Or they like being known as the "tough ones" who stuck it out.

Like I said, if that element is present on campus - and the campus as a whole hasn't shamed them out of doing it or out of existence - you can't make it go away. It just goes underground, which is worse.
