Hazing
“But we aren’t doing anything close to what has been reported on the news or like what they are doing in that other group!” I have heard this statement so often in my 24 years professionally advising fraternities and sororities. In fact, one of the first times I heard this comment was from a president […]

Hazing
By: David Stollman A congressional hearing investigated the hazing related death of a promising young man from Eastern Pennsylvania. He was beaten. Hot sauce was forced down his throat.
