I was In a fraternity and honestly it was a great experience.

The problem is drinking is part of it and it’s not just hazing but part of the appeal.

But we’re dealing with 18-22 year old
Kids who read to be fricking morons and too often don’t know when enough is enough.

Making or even letting a kid drink a handle of whisky by 11 o’clock when he gets there at 9?

If I had to guess, they told the pledge class to finish the handle. Poor kid probably wanted to impress people so he decided to drink the majority of it. I can’t imagine they expected each kid to finish a handle of jack (especially since no other kids had alcohol poisoning).

The drinking isn't the problem, even getting drunk isn't the problem. No one but maybe a seasoned alcoholic is going to just sit there and start pounding a handle for the pure enjoyment of it. If a kid is doing it, it's because they feel pressure (either internally, or externally) to do it. And THAT is the problem.

If you're doing anything but straight chugging hard liquor, your body is going to give you plenty of warning before you accidently off yourself on booze. Kid died doing something that probably tasted like straight arse to him the whole time.
