At least that's what I figure the prevailing attitudes will be on the subject.

You're comparing two different things, the reaction of the sports news world (or just this one writer) and the reaction of people on Greekchat. Also, the attitude in the article, where he's just being a party pooper and should just go along with it, is one I
have seen about Greek hazing, if less frequently on GC than other places.
I think he's well within his rights to not participate in a hazing sort of tradition. And he appeared to act very maturely and not make a big stink about it, just politely declining. Spot on.
(Also, my lack of understanding was with the snippet of the story you provided. Did you cut and paste bits of it or is it that poorly written?)
ETA: What is it with the use of punk in your post? You sound like our troll from last night.
