[QUOTE="DDD, post: 524192, member: 35"] I would never suggest to any of my high school or college age children that they stay loyal to "the team" or "the club" IF they felt uncomfortable. I grew up in a family with five different "Greek" affiliations that ended up being eight after marriages. Two fraternities made "one time" poor choices (in the 50's) and my sorority made their one stupid choice. on the other hand I served as an alum advisor and alum officer for decades and was quite surprised to find that team sports hazing has become more prevalent...including inappropriate sexual hazing in the past twenty years. Even living in the middle of nowhere for the past thirty plus years I personally now know that alot of bright, accomplished, healthy young men get "broken" by hazing. My difficult child#1 was not sexually molested but his head was messed with to the point that he ended up going from easy child to a difficult child with an arrest record. It's hard to find the "right" line to take but I would never too strongly encourage participation in any group...sad to say. DDD [/QUOTE]
