BREAKING: All University of Alabama Pledgeships Ended By School Administration

This from the University of Alabama’s student newspaper, The Crimson White:

This comes after an anonymous fraternity pledge detailed his hazing and the alleged hazing of other fraternities for The Crimson White, as well as an anonymous letter to UA school administrators.

More on the story tomorrow.

    “There will be no hell week [and if there is] there will be hell to pay.” It sounds like a challenge.

      So is the punishment for hell week hell week or do they just kill you? I need more details.

    1.) If it actually existed, you’d think this’d be a good time for the Machine to make a cameo
    2.) Doubt this sticks past one week. Just wait until alumni threaten to withhold money
    3.) I don’t know what it is about the SEC and buttchugging, but, um, stop it
    4.) I want to bang the morningstar out of Kristen Saban

      Literally every one of these. Especially the first two. Once UA Greek alum start pulling their donations en masse the university is going to be groveling at their feet.

    Who is surprised? 46 million Americans are on food stamps. 9 million Americans draw unemployment and aren’t even looking for work. Thousands of baby boomers retire daily even though they are still in good health and can’t afford retirement.

    Heck, the NCAA is discussing allowing 5-7 teams to go to a bowl this year! No one has to earn anything anymore! That’s what the Leftists mean by “putting everyone on equal footing.” We tend to discuss the economic effects of socialism, but this poison affects our social thinking as well. They think you should just become a member of a fraternity because you want to, and that’s fair. Bullshit.

      Couldn’t agree more on your last point. If these people don’t like what they have to do they can DROP AT ANY TIME. It’s a private club. While I agree that certain physical and mental abuses go too far, there are still requirements to join ANYTHING. Deal with it or leave. You have that choice ever single day. Apparently free will doesn’t exist for these people.

      What ever happened to earning something? It’s the idea that made America great. Through hard work and sacrifice you can better yourself. I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA

      Holy shit this is my favorite post in a while. The liberals have not only taken our economy but our values of competition.

      Jesus christ, no pledging? This isn’t just hazing. They literally cannot even educate the new members about the organizations. That’s ubnelieavable.

      “Hazing: the practice of rituals and other activities involving harassment, abuse or humiliation used as a way of initiating a person into a group.” Is the office of Greek Life of Bama not harassing, abusing and perhaps most of all, humiliating the other Greek organizations who have not had any problems via forcing them to end a seminal part of their recruitment process? Double. Standard.

      You can do what you you want to us. But we’re not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America.

      The same shits happening at Tennessee too. We’ve had several chapters kicked off recently and the interfraternal council is on our asses. This is a sad thing. I am proud to be in an SEC fraternity where we have certain ways of doing things, it makes it worth it and an honor not a right to be greek. I think we’re looking at a day where greek life as we know it is over.

      Fraternities are getting fucked because many of their actions make the schools look bad not because of liberals. For example, University of Tennessee is going hard on all the fraternities because of the butt chugging while UT is trying to become one of the top25 research schools. It’s just bad publicity.

      DKEs rush chair handling the press conference well:

      “All students do exercises. I think for that to be considered hazing is a little absurd.”

      Well handled DKE, someone should just scream I’M SORRY I THOUGHT THIS WAS AMERICA

    This is a sad day for UA, but I have a feeling you guys will find a way to fight through this shit and continue to frat the fuck on.
