GDI here, don't care about these boohoo frat boy stories...they get kicked off campus because somehow pulling these initiation stunts on children somehow make you a man..

Besides, why would I want any part of an organization that would have me as a member...

And accentuated with a Groucho Marx quote?

Outstanding.

Sure is a lot of opinions from people who never did what they speaking on, critic is never the man in the arena I guess.

I guess you will have to educate everyone on what "the right way" is. Are you talking about hazing? Also, I never saw any infraction that was swept under the rug. If anything, there were always more eyes on the bigger fraternities. In case you didn't know, most of the bigger fraternities didn't really have good relationships with the Greek Deans and there was always a sense of them just wanting someone to screw up so they could throw the book at them.

The right way is actually upholding the values their organization supposedly stands for. We all have them, but there are many that don’t put them into practice.

Of the two biggest chapters when I was on campus, one had the Greek Dean and the other literally had the President of the university, so I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.

I’m staying out of this as I am an alumni of said fraternity. I have some pretty good knowledge of what went on. All I will say is I understand the university’s position but it was way beyond excessive in how they handled this. This is more of a case of making an example of someone.

I won't comment on this case, because I don't have the information to have an informed opinion. Hazing isn't allowed in the military either, but my son-in-law was just promoted this weekend after drills for the Marine Reserves and he isn't walking to well today.

Blood striped him….nice!

Tell him congrats

When I was in school 99% of the patronage in the pub were Greek. It was the Greek hang out. The bulldog wasn’t a hip thing yet. It was makos and the keg.

Grow up. The point of a fraternity shouldn’t be to senselessly demean new members under the guise of “brotherhood” just to make yourself feel powerful and important. I’d rather be in an organization that treats everyone with respect than one where it’s a competition to see how you can treat each new class worse than the one before

You obviously have no clue. Everything done in a pledge ship is done for a reason and is designed to bring your pledge class closer together as a group. Outside looking in you don’t understand. Inside looking out you understand the meaning of it all. It’s not at all about “senselessly demeaning” anyone. It’s about building a bond of brotherhood.

Honestly, had to double check because I wasn’t sure.

Probably the greatest and the most subtle potential derailing of a thread.

Irreverently nuanced references like this make me giggle with joy.

Thank you for an early morning chuckle that my wife is shaking her head about.
