It is clear from the article above that Greeks are permitted to police themselves. This being the case one can expected the most egregious hazing events to continue unabated.

Not mentioned, maybe saved for another article, is the r*pe culture that is propagated at many fraternity parties-getting young ladies drunk and/or drugged to take advantage of them, events that often do not get reported as all are well aware that University and Columbus Police, knowing full well which fraternities are the biggest offenders, will do nothing to punish them as the wealthy alumni contribute to the bottom line. In fact it is telling that a fraternity coming back from suspension was gifted a $5million dollar house from said alumni. One would think the alumni would be embarrassed.

The Ohio State University needs to really focus on why indeed they continue to tolerate the fraternities. It is sad and telling that some college freshmen can only find friends through these clubs. There have to be creative ways the void could be filled.
