PBS on hazing

I have stumbled across an interesting documentary on WHUT 32 (PBS-DC) entitled Unless a Death Occurs: Hazing Examined. It was produced by Sigma Alpha Epsilon. So far the discussion is about a death of a pledge of a local fraternity at a SUNY school.

That interesting, a couple of weeks ago i was flipping threw the channels and they did a special on the entire history of Alpha Phi Alpha.

WHUT is the PBS affiliate connected with Howard University. I guess that's why they broadcast so many education related shows as compared to MPT or WETA.

It was actually somewhat interesting. The whole hour really just focused on the death of the SUNY student that was pledging a local that had lost its recognition by the university.

It was interesting that they made those who participated in the hazing incident pay for the cost of that documentary. I don't see how unrecognized frats are allowed to exist on a university campus, they should have shut that house down when it lost its privileges of affiliating with the university.

I'm not sure I understand how they can "shut down" a group of people? If they own their land/house they can operate how they see fit (within the law) regardless of university recognition.

They can be De-Chartered and still own a house.

But? Who are they? Nada!
