are they going to eat them like hotdogs.
Remind me again why anyone tolerates these clubs full of alcoholics, date rapists, and psychopaths? Frats make zero positive contributions to society, ban and disband them all nationwide.
Genuinely some do great public works but are overshadowed by this sort of nonsense.
It shows they are willing to take abuse and follow orders without asking questions and not answer questions or reveal things to others. It lets employers and higher ups find people with those qualities which is part of why they fail upwards into management and administrative positions and end up in finance so frequently
I remember back in college the girls had to walk really close in a line together for several days. They also had ketchup in their hair the entire day or two. The non sense people put up with to have friends…
Since the hazing was interrupted, these poor dudes are going to have to attend ketchup classes.
and then the onion dip, and mustard, and mayo wrestling.
I'm gonna say it
I don't really feel bad for people who sign up to be hazed
And before anyone rages at me, I do understand there are people who get actually forced into it. But situations like these, c'mon. They knew what they were getting into. Stupid prizes
They might have a vague idea that something happens, but it's not like they're invited by someone saying "hey want to come sit in a hot dirty basement after we throw condiments at you?"
Hazing (and lots of other kinds of abuse) exploit that uncertainty and the reluctance to back out.
I really don't either, but it should still be criminalized for the violent conspiratorial hierarchies it creates. The fact that it's normalized in so many people's minds is IMO a huge issue.
Did the university know they were still in operation?
Alpha Epsilon Pi was kicked off campus as a recognized chapter in 2015, but the organization maintained a presence at the Madison home.
Edit 2: What? Why would it still be allowed to exist? So they did know about it at the university level. What made them be kicked out from the university originally?
The university said in a statement that while it stopped recognizing Alpha Epsilon Pi about a decade ago, the national organization has continued to recognize the Madison chapter, allowing it to exist in the community.
The university does not have the authority to block students from participating in an off-campus organization unaffiliated with the university, basically.
They usually have a code of conduct, though. They can put whatever they want in the code, and expell students for violations.
Are US universities in such a situation that they can't collect enough tuition without tolerating otherwise unacceptable behavior?
"Filthy" is the default state of a frat house basement. The rest is fucked up though.
