Full disclosure: I am married to an AKA. That being said, I have a problem with anti-hazing laws as all of the participants are of legal age and can can refuse to participate if they don’t wish to be hazed. I myself did not join a frat when I was in school because I chose not to do silly things and be bossed around by some yahoo with an IQ 30 points less than mine.

acceptance to a fraternity/sorority might still require candidates to be secretive about certain activities on certain occasions; if a candidate has a “snitch” like attitude, then he/she doesn’t understand the need for such secrecy and merit his/her non-acceptance.

When I first read the article I thought it was an “Over involved girlfriend does Greek Week” spoof.

Seems like the best plan is to admit them, then snub them. They will be effectively persona non grata with any social organization on campus as a result.

Being accepted to AKA, or for that matter, any sorority or any university these days, reminds me of being popular on Facebook.

It’s like being asked to sit at the cool table in the cafeteria of a mental institution.

“. . .as legacies, their mothers were also in the sorority”

Wait, you can sue for being *positively* discriminated against?
