This was a very interesting reading it brought a topic I am not very familiar with hazing. After reading this editorial open my eyes to the dangers of hazing and the number of deaths it has caused. This editorial was totally against hazing but is optimistic that it could change into something that promotes the brotherhood but in a safe manor. Sports teams, clubs, faternaties and sororities would benefit from doing team building activities. When I was in high school I played baseball and the coaches would make us do stupid tasks that would bring the team close. Hazing could be stopped if the university and police stepped up and in enforce the rules and prosecute the people that do any act of hazing. The act of hazing is not necessary and the people who do it to recruits should be punished. I feel this was an effective claim. It is a shame that an innocent band member was killed from the acts of hazing. It’s sad that people think beating people with their fists and a medal ruler is okay. Sadly hazing is always going to be around and causing emotional and even physical scaring. Even though the schools say they have a strict hazing policy it is still going to happen in some schools.
I agree with you there, it is sad and sick how someone who was just joining a band was beaded with fist and a medal ruler. Some people go way too far on how they have one another. Hazing will always be around but needs to stop or at least have guide lines on how or what should happen. I think having a safe team building activity is a great way to bring everyone together but beating the life out of someone is not bringing anyone closer to one another. And I do not believe the drummer that was beaded down was really accepted by the other band players because how can a group of people go that far with “hazing” Thanks Zach
