@emptywheel Ah sorry. Yeah, I don't know much about journalism but thats the inference everyone took from the story.
@Mac_Coyle Your screen cap didn't work. But "pledge" appears 3 times, never tied to story of rape, that I see.

@Mac_Coyle Inference that frat hazing involved, yes (though it is not claimed). But that it was part of "ritualized pledge process"? -
@emptywheel Yes, of course, but "we all had to do it" strikes as a long running tradition. Casual hazing would be far more individualized. -
@Mac_Coyle Perhaps. Or maybe just the demands of one older brother. But not the more formalized ritual. -
@emptywheel But the fact that they didn't actually have pledges at the time questions that. I'm only speaking from greek life experience.

@emptywheel just from what I know, as a member of a fraternity, is that this statement would only be made to a pledge, which was implied -
@Mac_Coyle But do you agree that a lot of casual (non-ritualized) hazing also takes place?
