Hard core? Yes. Effective? Quite probably.
Let's face it...99% of the time when a chapter gets caught hazing, all the other greeks on campus knew they were doing it (to some degree). After the fact, they say things like "Yea...I knew they were doing some crazy stuff..." Heck, I even heard one of my students say today "You know it still happens." Well, if you know it still happens, DO SOMETHING!! Hazing is a slippery slope...while I hate to be Attilla the Hun and police every single thing my greeks do, there are a few things I will NOT tolerate. One of them is knowing that another group is doing something wrong and not holding that group accountable for their actions. It winds up getting bigger and bigger, and damages the whole community.
(Notice I didn't say "tattle" on your fellow greeks...)
