"Every year since 1970, a young man or woman has died during an activity related to fraternity or sorority pledging. Wrongs of Passage explores the breakdown of common sense, civility, and leadership in major areas of American college life."--BOOK JACKET.
"What compels young men and women to accept degrading and dangerous rituals in order to belong to a social club, sorority, or fraternity? Why do college administrators and Greek fraternities and sororities continue to allow practices that frequently lead to death or permanent psychological damage? Why are black fraternities more prone to violent rites of passage than their white counterparts? Is it inevitable that today's victims will become tomorrow's hazers?"--BOOK JACKET.
"These are some of the questions that Hank Nuwer addresses in Wrongs of Passage. Nuwer's first book, Broken Pledges, which appeared in 1990, tells the story of the alcohol-related death of Chuck Stenzel at Alfred University. In this new book he provides a much broader look at the problems of hazing and binge drinking, including legal and historical perspectives and case studies."--BOOK JACKET.
