Local Greeks Hazing "Scandal"

[greekdee]

Wow, wow, wow. Unbelievable. I live roughly two hours from Young Harris and have always thought it was a quiet little school in the scenic mountains of North Georgia. Boy, what I don't know. I do know a teacher in my community who is a YH grad and was active with one of the local fraternities. Hard to fathom him ever taking part in any of the described activities -- really hoping he didn't.

I wonder if Atlanta news will pick this up? Agree with Carnation in hoping that plaintiffs win and the whole system gets shut down. This is just appalling.

It does strike me as a bit odd that when I google "'Young Harris' hazing," all that comes up is the linked article (from a legal news service I've never heard of), this thread, which was started by a newbie who seems to have registered just to post the story and ask what we think about it, and references to YH's policies. I think I would like to see some other reports before drawing too many conclusions.

Well, the college and hazing was discussed here previously

Forgive me if I've made a mistake (I'm on some meds that make me a little wonky), but when I googled "Young Harris" hazing , they served me up over 22k search results.

No, I doubt you made a mistake. (Though from what I can tell, the 22K+ results included everything with "young" and "Harris," not just "Young Harris.")

I probably shouldn't have said "all." The "all" I refered to were the hits on the first couple of pages. I would have been more accurate had I said "the top hits as I'm seeing them on the first few pages . . ."

Obviously there could be more buried in there, but I was operating under the assumption that any news about the lawsuit would have to be recent and therefore any google hits would likely be up top -- though I might have done better on narrowing it all had I included "complaint," "sued" or "lawsuit" in the search.

Sorry for not being clearer. Either way, I'm still not finding much in the way of reports or articles other than the Courhouse News article.
