Sometimes it's just pure pressure to join a member cause you don't want to be Left Behind and have plenty of friends but I wish this has to stop you don't need to be a Frat Brother to do senseless things.
Hazing- Forced inoculation of drugs.
Mandate- Breaks Hazing laws. Where’s Kingsfield?
Probably jealous. He was a good looking guy and their probably like the VCU suspects an ugly mess.
People still believe in fraternities? Lmao
Doesn’t the school support frats ? I don’t get why they don’t get held accountable
Greek councils should be dissolved.
Sororities and fraternities are evil. They are just another system to promote cronyism and privilege.
WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING EVERY YEAR? You hear every victim's parent saying they don't want this to happen to another child. BUT NOTHING IS DONE!! WHEN WILL THERE BE SERIOUS PENALTIES AND RULES IN PLACE TO BAR THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR FOR GOOD!
Ignorant Frat Rats.
WHY DO SOME TEENS WANT TO JOIN THESE FRATS. WHY?.ðŸ˜â€Â

The so called "Greek system" should be officially renounced by every accredited school in the US. If they want to be "unofficial"? So be it. But a school shouldn't officially have a relationship with these sorts of clubs.
No more hazing, so sad. Heartbreaking.
The Unis also need to take more serious measures such as shutting down the fraternities and sororities. Enough is enough. Tradition does not overide the safety of people's lives
It will never stop. The is an abundance of immature people and will always be.
Must be racist?
You pay money to join a frat to learn how to misbehave and drink and smoke and do drugs and waste your mind and life away?? All to "fit in"?
Ban, stop all frats. Make them a join a college group at a local church or make more positive groups. Not frats. Pointless and a waste of money.
Have fun but know your limits…
Downing a bottle of 151 is tradition after crossing.
When are these morons going to understand that everyone's body chemistry is different.
Just because a group of people can handle large quantities of liquor doesn't mean everyone can.
No one can control their body chemistry over night, one can develop a tolerance over a period of time, but not over night.
They really should be teaching this in high school.
Why some people die when they drink too much liquor and others don't?
Because of body chemistry.
It's not just Greek life hazing, clubs and other organizations haze too
If 20 guys form a group in the streets, it's a gang.
If the same 20 guys form a group in a college, it's a fraternity.
I'd rather be called a prude or other such names if I don't do what these manipulative power-tripping idiotic morons tell me to…and be one of the non-cool kids.
I am so happy for the family.
Why this is still a thing…
Bowling green U 😂
Stone, you looked too well to be in such foolishness. I was drinking Hennessy. I was 17 years old. I drank that crap. I was seeing all black. The room was spinning. I was vomiting. The people said that they were going to call the police each time that I went out. I said, “No, I don’t supposed to be drinking. I’m going to get in trouble.†I felt warm and tingling in the inside. I don’t drink. That stuff has something deadly in it. It’s not right. It needs to be illegal.
They so called white. Tbeyll get fine and probation. N their records will be clear if they complete it …
THE MERCENARY NON WOKE MARTIAL ARTS HEAD CRUSHING ACTION NOW ON AMAZON PRIME ……………………..
Outlaw fraternities. They won’t learn, ever.
Wait until these eight get a hazing upon entering prison.
It's sad to say….but nothing will change!!! Nothing!!! How many kids die from college Hazing? How many kids died from mass shootings? Nothing will change! It doesn't matter who you vote for😞
They are white college kids, nothing will happen.
He volunteered for it. and you contacted them but have problem convicting magnum force police on unarmed black. them boys should be on administrative paid leave.tooðŸ¤â€ÂðŸ¤â€ÂðŸ¤â€ÂðŸ¤â€ÂðŸ¤â€ÂðŸ¤â€ÂðŸ¤â€ÂðŸ¤â€Â
Couldn’t make the cut
Aw come on PIKES, you're better than this.
I'm mormon…all my friends are mormon. And all of us today are still alive. We were taught not todo drugs and drink and want to be accepted. Call us boring but if we go to school it's to learn not to drink party have fun be wild and see who can drink the most and end up dead.
They must go to jail.
It's the only way to stop it happening.
Fraternities and Sororities serve no purpose. Time to abolish them permanently!
This is their idea of a good time. They only regret when tragedy strikes. It's too late. No point having laws in place if citizens simply take it for granted.
Sergeant Robert Justin alford green at nellis AFB and Deborah freedman where is my daughter Jahmela and her 4 children and what have you done to them.
That is not new!
These children of entitlement will NOT go to jailðŸ™ÂÂ
