<p>MY recollection of the PKE incident was that the students were injured on their backs and chests, not their “private parts” (though liquid does move, it could certainly have injured more areas; and I never heard what kind of container the crab boil stuff was in). But I obviously havent scoured the news media on this as have you. Ironically, the same day, UW Madison had a hazing incident too [Critical</a> Badger on the scene: The largest fraternity at UW-Madison, Sigma Phi Epsilon (Sig Ep), is under investigation by the Office of the Dean of Students for potential hazing and bad behavior «](<a href=“Private Site”>Private Site) Scratch Madison off your kids list. Oh, cross off UT Austin- their pledges were burned with hot irons. And UC San Diego- they sold drugs from one of their frat houses. Hazing is wrong. It should not be permitted at any school.</p>
<p>I am hopeful that your kids will find a school that is right for them, perhaps a rural LAC with no greek life. Thats fine. Yes, the OP asked if their parents should be concerned. Most posters here were accurate in their response without hurling a slew of hostile sounding adjectives, as altmom pointed out.</p>
<p>Dont misunderstand-- I had my concerns when my s chose Tulane. And I am not personally a fan of greek life at all. But as others have said, when you get a closer look at Tulane, many concerns are assuaged. Your opinion seems pretty set in stone. Fine. No need to pour hot oil on the school or the posters here, IMO.</p>
