Are fraternities going too far?

College campuses, like University of Michigan, have seen a rise in toxic Greek life behavior, more specifically within their fraternities. The degree of hazing seems to be sending more men to the hospital after serious injury with that specific university citing more than 30 hospital transports during one game weekend. Why is it that men haze one another in a more violent way than women? This year alone there have been deaths at Florida State University, Louisiana State University, and Texas State University that occurred due to fraternity hazing. This idea that men have to be tough in order to be cool seems to play a large role here. In order to make it into a highly sought-after position in a fraternity it seems as though eighteen-year-old college students must prove that they can drink incredible amounts of alcohol and withstand large amounts of torture. It appears as though there is a “tough guy” mentality that runs deep in fraternities across the US and students are dying due to it's perpetuation.

 Colleges are suspending Greek life. Don’t expect the ban to last.
