Rutgers girls charged with vicious beatings during hazing at sorority:

When the rotten apples are caught in yet another exhibition of egregious behavior, observers are asked to weigh a certain balance of good versus evil. Does the fact that an organization has members rasing money for a soup kicthen somehow excuse a behavior that is reprehensible on all levels?

<p>No it doesn’t, and I don’t believe anyone here is trying to make that argument. However, your post #23 insinuated that any beneficial action a Greek organization takes is BS and done only to take the focus away from bad things. You don’t actually believe that, do you?</p>

<p>

My point is that such organizations have the ability of making clear decisions. Engaging in criminal behavior should never be accepted, excused, understood, and mostly not permitted on or near our campuses. Until extremely tough and permament measures are applied, we can count that accidents and deaths caused by the incredible stupidity of brothers and by the LACK of supervision by the national chapters and by the schools will continue.

<p>Engaging in criminal behavior is not tolerated anywhere. However, action can only be taken when people are caught. The issue is that a lot of cases aren’t brought to attention. Also, you single out fraternities (use of frat and brothers) when the thread is regarding a sorority hazing.</p>
