We got a tip of concern from a parent about high school students imitating these groups but using crazy hazing practices. I'm trying to get more info and bring this practice to light. I would think this would be of concern for legitimate Greek organizations sine it's not the message you try to promote. Any info that can be passed along would be helpful. Thanks.

Maybe try the school in question. Is it like your first day as a reporter or something?

This is no news to any of us. News flash hazing happens all the time, but the only time it is every reported is when it involves us. It pisses me off so much.

x2'd, but-
This doesn't even involve anyone in a legitimate Greek organization unless the sorority/fraternity at the school is using a Greek name. Just because kids can access the internet to figure out the Greek alphabet and come up with a catchy sounding name doesn't associate them with us.
Saxenmeyer, call the school, not us. Unless you want to tell us the name of this organization and it happens to be the same as an established sorority/fraternity, we have no reason to discuss this further.

You're right, that is important. I can't believe other GCers are being so cavalier about this issue. I'll do an interview with you over the phone, call me when you get this. 312-563-9631
