For those who have heard anything about the tragic death of the young freshman who died at USU my heart truly goes out to his family, as well as the fraternity he was pledging at the time. As a student in the PR field I have watched how the many media outlets have taken this tragic event and turned it into something sickening. As a sorority member at USU it saddens me that we lost one of our follow Greeks. Sororities as well as Fraternities are forbidden to participate in hazing in any form. Utah State as well as National Headquarters for each Greek house on campus does not allow hazing. As a member of my sorority if any active member allows hazing or even participates in hazing they will be removed from the sorority and their pin will be dropped. If a pledge or "new member" allows hazing to be done to be done, their pledge will automatically be lifted. Hazing is a serious crime and is not seen as acceptable at USU and the Greek houses on campus.
