<p>More hazing—I suppose the FAMU 2011 death of 26-year-old drum major Robert Champion from hazing wasn’t enough to make an impact on students at FAMU.</p>

<p>Swift and sure punishment might get their attention. Or maybe the powers that be could take a page from the NCAA in the Penn State scandal and hit FAMU in the pocket book. Of course the school doesn’t codone hazing, but drastic measures are needed in Tallahassee.</p>

<p>*The all-female dance team allegedly conducted hazing involving alcohol consumption and “running up hills,” university spokeswoman Sharon Saunders said.

<p>Gosh…girls doing this kind of stuff. I thought mostly only boys did hazing.</p>

<p>You hear about the men more.

<p>Just teach your kids that this can happen…and they won’t believe you of course. But hopefully some part of their brain lights up if the signs appear.</p>

<p>It looks like the school is taking the allegations seriously.</p>

<p>Who are these women that they would put fellow gals’ safety at risk…I just don’t know women who would do this.</p>

<p>Hazing happens within sororities. Hazing happens within women’s college sports. Women haze. Men haze. The gender doesn’t matter.</p>

<p>All one has to do is google the word hazing. Unfortunately, it happens all the time. Most of it remains hush hush until tragedy happens.</p>

<p>females can be worse…</p>

<p>In my hs, the female athletes were the worst for freshman hazing.
What shocks me is that it is still happening on this campus. Normally a campus death will shake things up, but apparently the violence is too ingrained on this campus.</p>

<p>I think there should be a “one strike” policy. It should be explained at the beginning of the year. Involvement in one hazing incident, and you’re out. Not suspended. Gone. If you can’t respect your fellow students enough not to haze them, you have no place at the institution.</p>
