However, whenever hazing involves assaulting the victim, then it goes to another level. A perfect example would be a 13-year-old Georgia student riding a school bus received a “wedgie” during a school hazing incident so painful that his mother took him to the emergency room. The boy was a member of the 2007 Charlton County High School junior varsity golf team. He was riding the bus along with varsity members, who held him upside down. According to a local new report, two older students called the boy to the back of the bus and, in addition to the wedgie, punched the 13-year-old in the groin and stomach — all as a part of an initiation ritual. In this case the youth should be tried as adults because of the severity of the incident and the emotional and physical effect that it had on the victim
In Steubenville, Ohio, a sixteen-year-old girl was attending a local high school party with her friends. The girl was more intoxicated than others and refused to go home after the party was shut down. She then joined a group of guys who were going to another party and when they get there, the girl was too drunk to remember anything else. Two of the boys that were with her were Trent Mays and Malik Richmond. Both of them were football players at Steubenville High School, which was a big deal in small town Steubenville.

In this scenario, I feel that the school’s success was highly dependent on their ability to provide “competent and substantial evidence” of Ms. Kimble’s “immoral conduct”(Mary Ellen Kimble v. The Worth County R-III Board of Education, p. 2).On three separate instances, Kimbell was found guilty of “untruthfulness and taking property not her own without consent or permission”(Mary Ellen Kimble v. The Worth County R-III Board of Education, p.7). The precedent set by Meredith v. Board of Education required a degree of credibility among witnesses, which the board was also able to provide. Although Kimbell ultimately returned the stolen items when confronted, this did not compensate for her actions. Due to the nature of her position it was deemed that she was unfit to perform her duties, because her behavior breached “even the
As we mentioned earlier, the freshman’s mother mentioned to coach McElroy the fact that the upperclassman was calling her son those insulting names. This incident could have been foreseeable by the coaches, and possibly the administration, if the coach reported anything to the principal and athletic director. The Mepham High School football season was eventually cancelled and the three upperclassman were charged with “involuntary deviate sexual intercourse,” “aggravated assault,” “kidnapping,” “unlawful restraint,” “false imprisonment,” “terroristic threats,” “criminal coercion,” “simple assault,” “reckless endangering of another person,” “ethnic intimidation,” and “criminal conspiracy.” Judge Robert J. Conway chose to try the accused as juveniles.

In summation, just because the Greek system does not cause certain issues such as: binge drinking, sexual assault, eating disorders, classism, homophobia, racism, transphobia and other forms of discrimination does not mean that it does not create an environment that allows these issues to continue. Greek organizations have a long and illustrious history of discrimination; one cannot support such a system without ambivalence. There is something inherently wrong with a system that still produces numerous examples of dangerous, violent and prejudiced behavior. Although it is wrong to stereotype all Greek organizations as inducing this kind of behavior, we need to ask ourselves why it is happening at all. Whenever one of these horrible incidents is in the news, a Greek member is always quoted as claiming that it is an “isolated incident”. If this was true, then why does it keep happening? For instance, studies have shown that at least one student has died of hazing-related injuries every year since 1970 (Source Two). Fraternities are simply out of excuses. Fraternities are out of excuses.
