College have you been I haven’t cuz I’m poor hello everyone welcome to my channel if you are new here I am just happy you stopped by in today’s video I wanted to talk about something that’s been on my mind for a little while I also don’t think that it’s talked about
Nearly enough as much as it should be and that is college hazing college hazing is the practice of subjecting new members of a college fraternity or sorority to various forms of initiation rituals to some they are harmless including games giftgiving and partying however many other unfortunate students
Who partake in these dangerous Acts end up hurt they can endure physical emotional and psychological damage and in some cases even death now college hazing is probably something you’ve seen in movies or talked about on social media and considering it’s been around for thousands of years it’s not a new
Practice by any means so today I just wanted to go over just how severe some of these cases end up being and if this sounds interesting enough to you I hope you stick around leave a like maybe subscribe and let’s get into the video the earliest form of hazing was an
Ancient Greek with the founding of play Academy back then it was called penismusic and it shows you the type of mindset that the people that run these fraternities and sororities have students may be subjected to strenuous physical activities often resulting in injuries or even fatalities like forced consumption of excessive amounts of
Alcohol drugs physical beating and extreme endurance tests are just a few examples this is the video that was anonymously sent to the Sacramento State student newspaper the state Hornet it is said to show The Hazing of a current member of the Delta Kai fraternity you can see somebody’s tied down to the
Table let me list a couple of these to give you a feel of just how messed up they really are in 1738 Dan Daniel Reese tragically died from Burn injuries after flaming liquid was thrown onto his body similarly in 1885 Edward turnback was murdered after he ran through a group of
His schoolmates and they all took turns punching him he was struck in the kidneys and passed away just days later in 1884 Henryetta Jackson died from gassing when undergraduates misdirected chlorine gas into the kitchen as part of a hazing prank this woman wasn’t even a student turns out they were trying to
Gas the Cornell freshman banquet what in the World War I is wrong with them even if it went the way they wanted that’s still not okay in the early 19th century hazing gained even more popularity it was common in literacy clubs band groups and RC it started to show its more
Sinister side with student deaths on the rise once again we’re talking like one to two deaths every year if not more many schools were now trying to put a stop to hazing threatening expulsion fines against students that were caught now you may be wondering why students subject themselves to this type of
Torture and the answer isn’t really that simple but we can narrow it down to like a variety of reasons which can be categorized into social psychological and cultural factors peer pressure being one of them college hazing frequently involves group activities and college students may feel pressured to join to
Be accepted and approved by their peers they may worry about being left out or rejected if they choose not to participate two belongingness hazing rituals are often viewed as a way to become part of a specific group or organization students May believe that enduring The Hazing process will help
Them establish a sense of belonging and friendship with their fellow members and three tradition in certain organizations or institutions hazing has become deeply rooted in their culture and history students may feel obligated to participate to uphold traditions and preserve the group’s Legacy the act of hazing not only poses significant legal
Risks for individuals involved but also the schools that fail to address or prevent hazing they may face legal consequences and damage to their reputation and in response to the increasing number of hazing incidents Most states have taken action by implementing anti-hazing hazing laws these laws aim to address the issue of
Hazing by providing legal consequences for those involved in such activities currently only six states Alaska Hawaii Montana New Mexico South Dakota and Wyoming have not adopted statutes that explicitly prohibit hazing in addition to state laws universities fraternities and sororities have also taken steps to combat hazing by implementing their own
Anti-hazing policies trying to create a safer environment for their members this is kind of where I want to compare sororities and fraternities to Cults first both College fraternities and Cults often have a strong sense of exclusivity and elitism fraternities typically have strict membership requirements including a rigorous selection progress and initiation
Rituals similarly Colts often have a hierarchical structure that separates members from nonmembers creating a sense of superiority secondly both fraternities and Cults often employ intense indoctrination techniques to mold their members beliefs and behaviors fraternities have a strong emphasis on Conformity with members expected to adhere to specific codes of conduct and
Adopt the fraternity’s values and traditions similarly Cults use various methods such as manipulation to shape the beliefs and behaviors of their followers many high school students feel pressured to join these groups due to the constant exposure and it almost seems like an expectation many students believe that this will be their way to
Fit in and make friends in a new place where they lack confidence and comfort these fraternities and sorties pushed the fact that a majority of wealthy individuals were once in these clubs so of course impressionable kids are going to see that and think oh if they did it
I can too when in reality it’s almost like a Ponzi scheme thirdly both fraternities and Colts often Foster a strong sense of loyalty and devotion among their members fraternities often encourage a deep bond between Brothers promoting a sense of Brotherhood and camaraderie Colts often create a tight-knit community where members feel
A strong sense of belonging and loyalty to the group and its leader students who have friends who are a part of these practices often feel like their friends outlook on life completely changes once they they join they no longer want to be part of their old friend group they only
Want to be with their brothers or sisters we don’t discriminate and it basically becomes like a way of life which may not seem all that bad to some like oh well at least they have a friend group and they’ll always be there for them but this isn’t always a good thing
And let me explain why Leon Mount vanished in September 1921 and was later found dead in April 1923 his body was discovered hidden beneath a pier wedged between heavy concrete slabs the skeleton was wrapped in several feet of nodded rope and doctors who examined it believed that lime had been used to
Cover the body and was reapplied multiple times to prevent its Discovery police suspected hazing is the cause of death because before the discovery of leighton’s remains a hazing incident between sophomore and freshman college students had already resulted in a death their name was Luis Auber and they died
In a car accident during the investigation into luis’s death a student named rasco Fitch admitted that Leighton had been accidentally killed and his body hidden those involved had taken a solemn oath to never reveal the truth when questioned in court some of the students claim to have suffered
Memory loss and denied seeing late a few admitted to taking an oath not to discuss the case as instructed by student leaders to protect the reputation of the school John Scott the son of Nu president Walter D Scott refused to cooperate with investigators citing the oath of his fraternity as the
Reason the only immediate consequence of these events was the University’s decision to ban the specific type of hazing known as class rushes because of this so-called loyalty no one will ever really know what happened to Leighton and his poor parents passed away without the truth which honestly I don’t know
Would have been better but it just sucks that there were no real consequences in my opinion this isn’t the only example either which is just sad and it makes me wonder how many of these cases go unsolved because of this Hive like mindset oh we need to protect the school
We need to protect all of the students and it probably ruins the lives of so many one of the more recent cases involves Danny CI who was only 18 years old at the time of his hazing on October 20th 2021 Daniel was admitted to to the hospital for alcohol poisoning his blood
Alcohol content was 486 which is six times the legal limit and I want to let you know that 400 is like death the fraternity involved was FMA Fela or Fiji for short and what they did is like disgusting they had their hazing ritual on the night of October 19th where they
Blindfold in and undressed the boys to only their pants they LED them down to the Fiji frat house basement they duct taped a bottle of vodka to Daniel’s hand and told him that he needed to finish it after several swigs he tried to give the bottle back but then someone said to him
There are no [ __ ] in the house tonight they then funneled beer into Daniel’s mouth shortly thereafter Daniel collapsed to the ground Where The Boys Guide him to a nearby couch but then his body slumps off the couch onto the floor and instead of calling 911 they carry
Him out of the house but while doing so they drop him onto the tiled floor where he hits his head Danny went into cardiac arrest and was in the hospital for months due to the brain damage he suffered he is now incapable of talking walking and he cannot see his family
Continues to work with him in hopes that one day it will as for everyone involved 24 of them have been sued and 11 could face jail time even though at the end of the day it’s not about money I’m sure that it helps Daniel’s family with all
The medical care that they have to pay for however some don’t think that Daniel is the innocent one just months after the national fi Gamma Delta fraternity sent out their thoughts and prayers to his family they tried to argue the claim by saying Dany acted unreasonably by knowing and voluntarily consuming
Alcohol I just feel like a lot of this could have been avoided if they just called 911 as for today Dany has become the face for an anti-hazing organization that educates people on the dangers of hazing so I was reading other stories and I came across a whole bunch of like
Oh I just feel so bad for these people and this one Young Harris college faced severe criticism when according to Joe Hannah bur who was joining gamai the pledges were taken to the nearby woods and made to crawl through the mud into a freezing Creek while enduring verbal
Abuse and being spat on who comes up with these who jail time as the investigation progressed it uncovered additional forms of Torment during the pledging process allegedly the pledges were compelled to stand in a pool of water that had been contaminated by the sorority members waste so like [ __ ] and
Piss they were also made to sit on a washing machine and any part of their body that jiggled was circled with a sharpie no wonder all these sorority girls smile with such dead cold eyes they just have nothing inside there are just countless stories of people who
Have endured all types of abuse and it’s so wild to me that it continues I don’t want people to think that I’m saying all for eternities and sororities are bad because I’m sure there are quite a few amazing ones but there are slimy ones too and I do know that many actually
Advocate against this kind of behavior where they don’t even allow underclassmen to grab beverages for older sisters because because that can be considered hazing since it’s an underclassman performing an act for an older sister so if you take anything from this video uh just let it be to be
Safe and if you’re going to college don’t do anything you don’t want to do don’t take drugs or alcohol from people so if you made it this far I just want to say thank you so much for watching I hope you have an amazing day um yeah see You
