Efforts To End Fraternity Hazing Have Largely Failed, Critics Charge.

Gose, Ben

Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n32 pA37-A38 Apr 18 1997

While college and university officials tend to say they have fraternity hazing under control due to school policies and state criminal laws, critics find the laws have been ineffective, in part because of a tendency to blame the victims. Punishment of some student perpetrators has been minimal. Liability of schools can be substantial, with incidents resulting in abolition of fraternities. (MSE)
