2. Pi Beta Phi (sorority)
Duke University
Serious hazing
allegation dropped by judicial board
Pi Beta Phi sorority escaped hazing allegations (though punished for lesser
transgressions) that newly named pledges had to
drink
and go home
while some were intoxicated on a cold night in February.
The sorority is also under investigation regarding allegations
of risky drinking
during a mixer with a fraternity.
Although nearly
all state laws say that the consent of victims in
hazing is to be ignored, Duke’s judicial board ruled otherwise
and
let the sorority
off the hook. But the verdict acknowledged that
the incident had occurred, further strengthening demands
by
anti-hazing
activists that want no serious incidents handled by
campus judicial boards.
