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


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.

How was this hazing? So a bunch of college guys get together and drink, one died of alcohol poisoning and all of the sudden the frat system is to blame? Part of the point of college is to find yourself and there’s tons of groups outside of fraternities to do that in which occasional drinking too much happens also. When I was in college I went to plenty of parties hosted by these groups this sort of thing could have happened in:

Rugby club
Soccer club
Bass fishing club
Baseball team
Baseball hosts
Waterpolo club
Cattlemen association
College Republicans

Etc. Probably hundreds of clubs people get together with others they like and occasionally do stupid college age kid shite together.
