That was my response as well. I would dispute that it is more prevalent in the South or Texas. But whatever. The checked for wires thing was pretty funny.

I would also dispute that.
People go based on personal experiences, what they see (and how they interpret it), and/or word of mouth (pillow talk and loose lips sink ships). Those don't mean much at the aggregate-level.

I like, "the plural of anecdote is not data," myself.

For the record, if this was a designed study on hazing, singular and plural anecdotes could be used as qualitative and quantitative data. That doesn't mean that what is found at the individual-level can instantly be aggregated and generalized, which is what I was saying.

Stop killing one of my favorite lines with your contrasting and your specificity! There is no place for that here.

ETA: I never understood why some people liked that supposed quote. A Google search reminded me of why I never understood why some liked that supposed quote. LOL.

Eh, it's a quick way to shut down the "Buuuuuuuuuut in MYYYYYY experience..." where they continue to point out an extreme exception that though it did occur doesn't represent reality, or statistical probability. Sure, it can happen but it's an outlier even if it were part of qualitative narrative data. You can't just take things you've seen an extrapolate them to the whole. Or, you can, but you shouldn't expect valid results.
But you know that. I just like it because it's laconic.
