Student suicide raises questions about UCF Pike

[ZTAngel]

I don't think there's a single fraternity on the UCF campus that I haven't heard stories about hazing activities. Most of the activities are pretty tame and probably wouldn't cause any physical/mental harm to the pledges. Every once in a while you'd hear about some not-so-tame activities but never to the extent of tying pledges up with female visitors and making them take drugs. I'm not saying that this never happened but I really find it hard to believe.

But, unfortunately, I've been hearing more and more about recreational drug abuse at UCF. When I first joined, it was very uncommon to find members of the greek community who abused hard core drugs. I just hardly ever heard anything except for twice when 2 different fraternities each expelled their members for GHB usage. After my graduation, I've been hearing countless stories about UCF greeks who are abusing these drugs. I don't know why this drug culture has suddenly grown but I really hope it ends not only for the sake of risk-management issues but for the well-being of the students.

Pike always had a rep for being the jocks, the partiers, the steroid users but never the hard core drug users. The guys I knew in Pike were not like that so I'm really hoping these allegations are false.
