In what scenario are people not affiliated with an organization hazing each other?
pretty sure there are tons of other student organizations for all the kids who got cut

Again, Greek activities are suspended to avoid the optics of waisted college students getting in the press. As long as it isn't official and organized, can't tie it to the Greek system or LSU.

I see this like a construction project. You just had someone killed on the project, you shut it down while you review procedures. Then quickly institute some "safety protocols" then you resume construction.


Pretty good analogy IMO.

Who else read this thread and got the taste of Keystone from a keg on the parade grounds?

It's so cute how important some of you think you are/were.

You don't think LSU would come down hard and any organization or group that hazed a kid to death?

I don't disagree, in this case, but I'd love to hear you elaborate more.

Eh. You don't put everything on hold you look like assholes that don't care about the deceased and ultimately piss the family off even more. And you've also set yourself up for something even worse if it happened again in short order.

While I personally think it's overkill, you can't risk the negatives in our lawsuit happy culture.

I can see suspending all fraternity activities, but the sorority activity suspension is completely unwarranted.

It's not about addressing the core issue. It's about the optics of looking like you're doing something, when in reality what you're doing does nothing to address the issue at hand and only serves to punishes people doing the right thing.

But, like I said earlier, they're just greeks so frick em.

Dollars to donuts there would be threads galore with people bitching about suspending only the fraternities.

This shouldn't shock you. Social justice warriors have targeted Greek institutions for years, claiming they are bastions of White supremacy.

Any event like this will be exploited to the fullest extent in order to maximize the damage to these institutions. They will not relent until all forms of European traditionalism is destroyed and replaced with more palatable forms of primitive, non-White culture.

I could not believe how out of control it was. There is no way this has been going on without F King Alexander knowing about it. In the old days we had parties at the house with beer and jungle juice and bands. We got trashed but we were not shooting hard liquor.
wow... I don't think I've ever heard/read someone say the younger generation parties harder than their own

LSU is imposing liability/guilt on literally hundreds of kids who did nothing wrong, without any due process whatsoever
