<p>Yuck and scary too
I hope this guy recovers and I hope some serious disciplinary action is taken against the Fraternity</p>
<p>Alcohol</a> ?enema? Pi Kappa Alpha house University of Tennessee investigation</p>
<p>I can’t believe college kids are doing this…</p>
<p>I think the kids should be expelled too. Obviously, the students have ---- for brains.</p>
<p>Ok, this is simply insane. Every single kid in that frat needs to be expelled. Period. No questions asked. Too many wrist slaps, not enough real consequences to actions. </p>
<p>What in the world is going on? I am cringing.</p>
<p>Thank you for teaching me something new.</p>
<p>Yeah
I hesitated to post -it was so unnerving
I couldn’t help myself</p>
<p>Wow. Vols making the SEC proud once again.</p>
<p>Okay, WHAT IS THE DEAL with hazing? What is it supposed to accomplish? Why can’t this ridiculous philosophy end? It’s just crazy.</p>
<p>[High</a> school soccer players accused of hazing, sexual assault - CNN.com](<a href=“http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/25/us/california-student-hazing/index.html?hpt=hp_bn1]High”>http://www.cnn.com/2012/09/25/us/california-student-hazing/index.html?hpt=hp_bn1)</p>
<p>I e-mailed this to S and he replied “Yep, and that’s why we stay away from Pike house.”</p>
<p>How can kids be SO stupid? They are smart enough to get INTO college but not smart enough to not go out in a box? It makes me want to cry.
Your 20’s are a time of invincibility–nobody thinks at that age that anything bad will happen to them. It’s a “take on the world time”–great thinking but I wonder how that impulse and the desire to join a group gets so misguided to lead to this result.</p>
<p>WTH is wrong with these kids? Isn’t getting stinking drunk the old fashioned way good enough? Clearly it’s time to install house moms or dads in these fraternities. </p>
<p>I’m speechless over the La Puente hazing.</p>
<p>You know, the HS soccer hazing is worse in so many ways. To think it’s condoned by those in authority makes me shudder. I’d rather lay it to stupid gang think than know someone in charge actually condoned such behavior.</p>
<p>As to Agent’s reply–are there any House mom’s anymore?</p>
<p>Butt chugging? Good God and yuck and what a waste of booze! And oh, their parents must be so proud - imagine explaining that to your parents.</p>
<p>Have to admit, I do enjoy a drink, but the actual drinking of it is the part I enjoy. I would rather enjoy the taste of a good margarita than, well, … nevermind, don’t even want to finish the thought…ugh</p>
<p>I’d like to have been a fly on the wall to see the police’s reaction when they walked in and realized what had been going on (but a fly with blinkers because I definitely wouldn’t want to see anything else).</p>
<p>I saw this online article that was something like “10 dangerous things your kids are doing that you don’t know about.” One was putting alcohol in your eye to get drunk faster, and another involved soaking a tampon in alcohol and inserting it into the orifice of choice. What DID happen to “good” old fashioned drinking?!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I would be so angry that the police would be hauling me off the campus in cuffs.</p>
<p>Oh. My. Words escape.
Dear God, may my children never, ever be so stupid.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh, DStark that would require a great number of stars aligning correctly. College officials with a spine and an ounce of courage. Parents realizing that they should forbid their children to pledge to those barbarian organizations. Students understanding the real dangers of engaging in similar behavior. </p>
<p>The reality is that college officials have looked the other way for a long time, and show NO willingness to combat the negative influences of romantic alumni, uninformed parents, and stupid students. </p>
<p>This will not stop until a collective decision is made by all colleges to eradicate those organizations that are masquerading as fraternities. The only workable solution involves throwing the baby out with its bathwater and ban all fraternity actitivity of any kind in every campus in the nation. The Greek organization have shown no capability nor real desire to clean up their act. </p>
<p>Every year we hear reports of criminal activity and deaths of young people that result directlty from this total lack of oversight. When will enough be enough? </p>
<p>The worst part in all of this is that you will ALWAYS hear from adults who find a way to excuse the activities of those animals and offer moral and … financial support. It is a given that will NOT change, and that means that the only positive change will come from school officials. </p>
<p>Good luck with that.</p>
<p>Part of the problem certainly is group dynamics. If asked separately and individually, I bet few if any of those kids would have agreed to participate in these behaviors. But young people in a group, that’s a different story. Plus the authority dynamic–after the Milgram and Zimbardo experiments, I am not sure that any of us could say for sure what our own kids (or even we) would or wouldn’t do.</p>
<p>Well, xiggi beat me to it. A house mother is not going to turn this around.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not when joosed defined as an alcohol enema is already in the Urban Dictionary.</p>
<p>Group dynamics are very interesting and worth learning about. At least be cognizant of it.
The “studies” (I love studies) say that it only takes ONE person in the room with a voice of reason (or at least another view) to change opinion. The trick is that they have to be strong enough to actually voice their opinion against peer pressure and stand by it. But once an opposing viewpoint is given, the floodgates open. It’s a great fact to know–go ahead and voice your opinion and feelings. The previous “quiet somebodies” will follow you.
You know it works! Been on CC enough to change opinion?
