I. Cornell fraternity “accused” of hazing…as a lawyer and a person charged with policing a fraternity for hazing, this article is worthless.
a. First of all, au contraire to some of the posted comments, having an “opt-out” is not sufficient, due to the level of peer pressure involved.
b. If you read it, the author has a rather strong bias that seems to be his motive for writing the article. His “journalistic integrity” suffers accordingly.
c. The actual allegations are ludicrous. Yes, there are some “frats” that still do that stuff; not many, but a handful. But the sheer ludicrosity (is that a word?) makes me want to see real proof—not a handful of unverified emails that are missing any of the routing data. “Potentially libelous” is the correct term here.
d. Again (and I do not defend hazing), there are a lot of people who are completely ignorant about what actually takes place within Greek houses. It’s rather easy to tell who they are.
