Re: Drake student with .500 BAL permalink Originally Posted by isunorth That's a little over the top. I am no stranger to the fact that a lot of non-greek students/alumni feel this way about fraternities/sororities, but it's not really that simple. Some houses are definitely worse than others. My house for example, didn't really haze in the classical sense of the word. Did pledges clean the house more than seniors? Sure. Did we...
