Local Greeks Hazing "Scandal"

I think I would like to see some other reports before drawing too many conclusions.

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.

The fact that Steubenville has dirty secrets is no secret to anyone within spitting distance. I'd also hardly consider either place a "small" town.

The lawyer representing the student and faculty has set up a website looking for "witnesses and information" regarding hazing at Young Harris College, past or present. There's also a link to the full legal filing for anyone interested.

I wish it was possible to submit information completely anonymously.

[colleen22]

I think you probably could respond anonymously, but they're trying to get as much information from named witnesses because that would be admissible in court (whereas anonymous submissions wouldn't). But if you have specific information that might help their investigation (tips or things to check out, names or dates, specific incidents), that might still be worth submitting without your name.

I am one of the attorneys representing the Plaintiffs in this case. We would greatly appreciate any information anyone can provide on hazing at YHC through the above link. Colleen is right, you may respond to the above form anonymously; however, it would be much more helpful if you could give us your name and, at least, some contact information. We will not disclose your identity or involve you in the case without first speaking with you to get your consent. If you feel more comfortable you may also email us or contact our offices directly. All of our contact information can be found on our website.

I'm sorry, but every time I see this thread, I feel it is missing something.

I wonder if someone at Jezebel reads GC.

Is Mama June running this school?

On April 25, 2012, Crapanzano spoke at a faculty meeting at which YHC President Cathy Cox said the staffer formally accused by Burch wouldn't be penalized because — even though Burch wasn't blindfolded entire time and heard the official repeatedly scream her own name at the pledges (following a “what’s my fucking name?” rally cry) — they were "unable to substantiate" the allegation because eyewitness testimony was “inherently unreliable.” When Crapanzano challenged Cox, Cox threatened her, suggesting that she and Crapanzano should “step outside and fight.”

Believe it or not this will most likely help the cause of ending this. TFM is very good at one thing, getting information out to fellow Greeks, whether good or bad information.
