re: The DKE closure at LSU is going to stay ugly for a while.

And if you're being honest, not all of those links are like the others, right?
If I spend another three minutes I could find 25 more and that’s just since the Internet has been around.

"Just since the internet has been around" includes about 50,000-plus students involved in the Greek system at LSU during that period. You could probably find 25 examples of just about anything, as you could with any sample of 50,000-plus students at any university.

Nope, initiated Jan '87, one of the traditional houses. Stayed active for all four years. Just want to either see the system cleaned up or see it disappear. Don't want to see another dead child or kids harmed for no reason.

Clearly you have proved my point.

Then factor in the amount of years that the fraternity hazed without getting caught.
ETA: What does your 50,000 figure have to do with anything

High school and college students die of drug and alcohol abuse regularly, and the VAST majority have nothing to do with the greek system (likely 99.9 percent).
Why do you hate freedom?

I was in a fraternity at LSU so I am not anti-frats but I don't see the point of weeding out the weak in this manner.
It's a fricking social club where you hang with friends, drink, and chase girls.
Why is being mentally tough enough (or dumb enough if you ask me) to accept light torture a requirement? It serves no purpose and can't be defended as necessary other than the "Muh, Tradition" argument.

Now, think about how many microaggressions, hate crimes and other transgressions they have perpetrated on society. Its a wonder that more people haven't died at the hands of these barbarians. #woke

You guys aren’t even talking about hazing anymore

Snatching that piece of the post and following with that quote is a total non sequitur.

The problem with hazing is the hazers tend to do everything done to them plus a little extra.
True story. I lived with a DKE in college and he told me that they have a continuous cycle.
1)They do something to get kicked off campus.
2)They are eventually allowed back on Campus.
3)They start with minimal hazing the first year back.
4)The hazing gets a little worse each year.
5)They escalate it to the point of being kicked off campus again.
Rinse and Repeat.

Remember when Smollett was beaten, had a noose put on his neck and bleach poured on him by Trump supporters. If true, it would have been horrible. Same for DKE. Maybe we should see where all of this goes before we assume the allegations are true.
I'm assuming some of the events were sensationalized and exaggerated, but some have some truth to them.
In any event, at least LSU is going to protect everyone from themselves.
Sorry about your chapter buddy.

The issue is that they have a rap sheet thats a mile long.
It's not really an isolated incident.
You can point to numerous instances throughout that chapter's history that point to the type of pledge process that they deem necessary.

They’ll just keep an off campus house as “the friars” I’m sure.

“Some information obtained indicated that a brand on the flesh, usually on the chest, leg, or thigh, may be required to obtain or maintain membership in the separate club called the ‘Friars,’” the report reads.
quote:
Allegations of branding at other DKE chapters date back to at least 1967, when the Yale Daily News reported that DKE members there had burned their pledges with a branding iron. A subsequent New York Times article referred to "a photograph showing a scab in the shape of the Greek letter Delta, approximately a half inch wide."
I have a question about the branding. I have seen huge branding symbols on members of black fraternities openly displayed in prominent places on their arms. Are there different standards for black fraternities? Serious question. I was never in a fraternity.

I was in a fraternity with over 200 members at LSU with no hazing. That figure is fairly accurate. Even Sigma Chi got kicked off because a guy OD’d on drugs not because of hazing.
Hazing is not that common, beyond minor things like cleaning up after parties, etc.
