We have to fix the hazing
There are about 6,178 Greek organizations on 800 college campuses across the United States with over 9 million members, it's obvious Greek organizations play a big role on college campuses, in the past five years more than 100 colleges have let fraternities and sororities for the first times, while all others have been established.

It actually is very true but, every incident won't be caught and most will go without anything happening because those being hazed are informed that that is part of what they must go through to get in that
