Hazing And Black Colleges: Is The Practice Of Hazing More Prevalent At HBCUs?

[DrPhil]

LOL @ the concept of this being an HBCU thing.

I like Alpha Man Roland Martin and I agree with what he said in the video. I had to rewatch the video because I apparently missed much of what he said about this not being an HBCU thing. He is saying that regardless of the institution, there are issues with hazing.

Dr. Jones has been studying HBCU and Black Greek hazing for a long time and is part of StopHazing.org. I know this is part of his research and community interests and goals. But, Kappas, get your frat. He was correct about the different type of hazing that is more likely to occur at predominantly white groups. However, that is still hazing. We are not ranking hazing, are we? If so, that gets back to how BGLOs have pledge processes that not every BGLOer considers "real hazing" and they use that rationale to defy the "pledge ban."

This was also a topic on Dr. Drew this evening. Needless to say, I changed the channel.

I agree with this.
