Letter to the Editor: ZBX suspension not enough

By • February 22, 2010 • Category: Uncategorized

Regarding the hazing in the campus sorority, I thought it was ridiculous that the campus suspended the sorority for two semesters instead of kicking them out entirely. I do not know if they thought the hazing was considered harmless or if they thought it “was not that bad,” but I thought they would at least feel obligated to make it known that that kind of behavior would not be tolerated — and by their punishment, that is what they made it seem. If there were three separate incidents, you would think that would be three strikes, right? I was just really surprised how poorly the campus handled the situation. I expected the group to be removed from campus. The actions, regardless if they were forced to do them or not, were immature, mean, perverted and disgusting, and any organization that exhibits these qualities reflects poorly on a campus community that I am not proud to be a part of.
