re: Delta Tau Delta hazing death at NAU

Exactly!!!! Moreover, they are labeling the young man a "Pledge Candidate"!!! What does that mean? He was going through rush, therefore he was a "Rushee", not affiliated with any fraternity. He was no more a member of DTD than he was a member of any other frat on campus. Rushees don't get "Hazed"!!! Unfortunately, in some cases, pledges do get hazed during "Hell Week", but they have already committed to, paid dues, and signed paperwork for membership. This rushee had not done that yet!!! They are using a broad paint brush using their new "Hazing Law" to test its validity. In this case they are conflating terms - Pledge Candidate/Rushee, Social drinking/Hazing!!!
