If you’re listing the five dumbest things human beings do, one of them is hazing. I’m not sure what the other four are.
John Hechinger, a former reporter for the Charlotte Observer, has written “True Gentlemen: The Broken Pledge of America’s Fraternities.” He was at Park Road Books in Charlotte Monday to sign the book.
Last year, students died from hazing episodes at Florida State, Louisiana State, Penn State and Texas State.
Hazing supersedes fraternities. In 2015, the Charlotte 49ers’ baseball team suspended five players for hazing and briefly suspended the program.
