To the Editor:
Hazing practices at any school from any student organization are undoubtedly a problematic issue. Should school administrations, including Dartmouth College, do more to prevent and eliminate hazing on their campuses? Absolutely. However, students who place themselves in environments where membership status is dependant on debasing and devaluing human self-worth deserve no less than that which they receive. If students are needy enough to sacrifice their own dignity to attain access to an elite circle, let them fall by their own sword. The cycle repeats and repeats because students are too afraid to stand up to their "friends" and demand a higher quality of treatment. The problem is not fraternities, not sororities, not performance groups and not Dartmouth College. Simply put, if you are sick of swimming in a pool of feces, get up out of the pool and walk away.
