"Family considerations also motivated Cohen. He wanted to protect his older son, Devon, a high school freshman who is determined to join SAE in college. Devon wears bow ties in purple and gold -- SAE’s colors -- and knows its secret handshake.
“I don’t want him to be scarred mentally from hazing,” said Brad Cohen, relaxing with his family in their home near Los Angeles. “I don’t want him to want to join SAE so badly that he’ll do anything he’s told.”"

Umm....doesn't that sort of break the rules?

No-not really in the overall scope of matters of importance. Heck my now 89 year old Mom years ago, out of the blue, gave me most of our Pledge grip. She, way back in the day, dated a Brother while in College.
And while it does not say so in the article, it is the Pledge grip that is involved here.

And his comments about his son doing what ever it takes, no matter what is happening to him, is rather sadly part of the very heart of the whole issue of hazing/RM violations.
