That behavior seems more typical of high school and even then, more of a thing of the past. I never saw this in my sorority or any other on campus. If the sorority or fraternity is national and not just local, they have strict policies against hazing due to potential lawsuits and reputation. I guess I thought that these days kids were more sopisticated and not so easily pressured by that age by such ridiculous stuff. Like djarg said, I hope all Southern campuses aren't so backward these days.
Just my 2 cents too.

Unfortunately Sucat, hazing is NOT a thing of the past and happens all over the country. There are still deaths/near deaths attributed to forced drinking of alcohol and even water. There are laws against underage drinking as well...it does not deter this from happening.
 
When my son was at UT/Knoxville, I knew of at least 2 frats that were in trouble at the time. So I guess I shouldn't be totally clueless. From the alumni publications, I just know that the nationals can give strict probation or can close down a chapter for hazing. More scary stuff for us parents to worry about!

My children are 19 and 24, so I guess that makes me about......well OK...50.
Maybe I sound younger since I teach at a high school and am always around teenagers. Nice to know that anyway!! :D
