fully expect the resident fratstars to come defend their sacred rituals of hazing and being douchebags, but here we are. Victims aren't we all.
I don't really get the making people drink to haze them thing. And seems like it could be combination of being drunk and a head injury by what the article gives us.
But thousands of dudes have joined fraternities and didn't die drinking.
And non frat people have died drinking in college.
Maybe the issue is alcohol. Not necessarily all clubs or social gatherings.

Made friends with people I still hangout with 10 years later after rushing. Stood in multiple weddings.
Forgot all the GDI’s did that with their dorm bunk mates

Based on my experience...99% of your "Brothers" will never talk to you again after you graduate from college.
Most wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. It ain't worth it.
It was cool to go to a few big parties for a year or 2....but I couldve had a lot more money to have fun with and couldve pulled just as much arse without the frat.
Most of the dudes in the frat with me were extremely wealthy entitled wannabe redneck rowdy gentleman douchebags. The Jackson, Memphis, and out of state kids idolized real deal North MS rednecks like me and the other baws from my hometown in the frat. They all wished they were from the Delta.

It's really not that much different from the boot camp experience. You eventually learn to operate as a unit and police your own. Of course, this concept is foreign to the dorm crowd.

Your shock headline isn't backed up by facts. Prove that Greeks die at a higher rate in college with hazing accidents. My guess is it's lower than the GDIs because they have slaves ala pledges.

Believe it or not this happens to kids who aren’t in fraternities. I know of one who was my age and died this same way.
The reality is no level of risk is acceptable in society anymore to people like you. Everything you don’t care about is stupid and zero risk is acceptable, but everything you enjoy is allowed to have risk.
For example, how fast did you drive to work this morning?
Thousands of lives of men, women, and children would be saved every year if you would just drive 20 mph to work.
Or we could ban all pools and save hundreds of kids lives every year.

I didn’t ever really care about getting hazed, but I never actually did any hazing. Just wasn’t my thing.

The culture of using hard liquor to get trashed is at the core of these issues

Forced drinking for hazing is stupid, but is infinitely more dangerous with liquor, as opposed to keg beer (natty light). Never understood beatings over calisthenics for hazing purposes as well.

Yep, and that's because drinking has become so taboo that people use the quickest way to get fricked up.

Kids are dumber than ever before. Every new generation gets dumber and dumber.
