Penn State Fraternity Hazing Death

[bushman505]

I always thought it was funny that it's called "Greek life" or something like that....

Isn't "going Greek style" like British slang for fucking dudes in their b-holes????

 

[Kneepocalypse]

Yeah I saw a movie about black students stepping....I think it was called "step up" or something like that.....I was embarrassed for the black community after seeing that.

I actually worked with a black guy who had been into that when he was in college, sometimes I'd walk into the lab and catch hip "stepping" when he thought nobody was looking. To his credit though, he was a legit tap dancer.

I recommend checking out the Dear White People series on Netflix, it's not even remotely as combative as its title suggests. It makes fun of all groups that exist in college, kinda feels like a stroll down memory lane.

So Gayberry is full of low T cucks with inferiority complexes who are scared of fraternities. Imagine that lmfao

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

I never understood the concept of fraternities.


Why waste money buying friends to hang out and drink with, and at the same time let your GPA suffer due to the mindless shenanigans that these idiots get into all the time? That tribal mentality of "Oh, we're zeta omega whatever and we're better than the rest" is just ridiculous. They're all douches to me.

I'm glad I spent my time studying and hanging at the university BJJ club instead.

My father was is a scholastically serious frat, so those exist, but I'm with ya here

Plus let us not forget Jerry Sandusky.

Some people like to have a couple of drinks first, but good for you for skipping all that and going straight to the homo-eroticism.

I tried to watch it while we were snowed in a few weeks ago, we couldn't get through the first episode so we ended up playing cards then taking strong ass sleeping pills and sleeping through the weather.

That's how bad it was. College today is nothing like it was when I went back in 1998.

Yeah because buying your friends date raping chicks and cheating through school (that's what being in a frat is) is awesome.....if thinking all that shit is lame makes me a low t cuck.....then ok!!!!

I think it's all stupid but I could see the appeal as a stupid 20 year old. 20 something kids are so fucking stupid, why are we wasting good schooling on them. After high school kids should go work construction or go in the army or something to learn a bit about life, then after they've got their ass kicked a few times and know what they want they can go back to school if they want to when they are like 30.

 

[Oblivian]

I was not in a frat nor didn't hang out with frat kids. I had a similar mentality to others in here thinking how lame it is, but I can see the value when it comes to networking. Now that I'm in my mid 30's, I have heard and seen several frat members that are able to reach out to other members for jobs.

The guys that allowed this to happen will certainly be punished. They played a role in this kid losing his life, and they deserve it. The camaraderie you should be getting from a fraternity is represented in stark contrast here. Unreal.

I was in a fraternity in college, so naturally I represent the minority here (certainly on this site). Before painting with such a broad brush, I'll simply comment that Greek life works very well for a multitude of people. This includes future presidents, CEO's, etc. Not all situations are the same and not everyone is cut out for Greek life.

I went to a commuter school. We had 40K+ students, but there was little life on campus. Most students were working professionals, many of which had families and lived in the burbs. Until I went to my first fraternity party, I hadn't seen that many 18 - 22 year olds in one place since freshman orientation. Fraternity life worked well for me.

Fratman checking in. Need to balance the scale itt.

From Penn State to the State Penn.

It'll be an interesting case.

What they're really fucked on, is providing alcohol to minors which played a big role in the death. That could ultimately be what hangs them. Now, if the kid was of age, I wonder where the responsibility would lye?

This isn't a frat issue though. With or without frats, you're still going to have a culture of heavy partying at colleges and universities. It's not like if you officially take away frats, that culture will magically change.

 

[Urban Youth]

There's black people in frats and even all black frats as well.

Yeah my Grandfather went to a Historically Black College and nearly died of alcohol poisoning trying to get into a frat. I always got weird vibes about Greek life, like it was some circle jerk shit.

I think the reason they allow frats still is because of ties to freemasonry, if you think about it they're modeled similarly to those lodges, both being boys clubs with weird ass rituals.

Not saying all fratboys are douches but, they're usually breeding grounds for ill advised activities.

 

[AznTrojan]

they also have a shitty football team

lol@ "greek life" btw.................

 

[bushman505]

Elephant walks.....fucking elephant walks....man.

Fucking Greeks.....

Did you ever do the elephant walk?

Wait never mind, of course you did but would never admit it.

This is a ridiculous statement. The incident was specific to a hazing game they do. They have to go through this to get into the frat. The alcohol is provided directly by the frat members. How is this not a frat issue?

Of course there are going to be issues at any college campus with drinking and partying, but this is very specific and directly related to the problems with frat hazing. Furthermore, some members wanted to get helped and were basically bullied by older frat members into not doing shit.
