"I think that the universities and colleges of this country made a profound mistake in the middle of the last century, in the 1960s, when they decided that they were going to partner with fraternities and have offices of Greek life and have some kind of supervision over the fraternities. Fraternities were not created to be another nice club you could join like the chess club. They were created to be outlaw organizations, private clubs. And I think universities and colleges need to stop advertising them, promoting them, suggesting to parents that they have any ability to supervise their behavior. They have proven over and over again, in all of these events where we have dead young men, that they can't supervise them."
Hazing on college campuses, sports teams and fraternities, continues even with decades of publicity. Why? Hello? College should be places for critical thinking and learning, NOT for facilitating unthinking harmful "follow the crowd" attitudes and behaviors.
