"  Due to an awful\u00A0hazing incident\u00A0in October, the\u00A0Gamma Phi Gamma\u00A0fraternity, which\u00A0is apparently\u00A0the &amp;quot;nation&amp;#039;s oldest local fraternity&amp;quot;, has been derecognized by Wilmington College\u00A0in Ohio. The incident in question sent a pledge to the ER, where he had to have surgery to remove a testicle.\u00A0It all happened during a hazing activity where pledges were made to imitate swimming in three inches of water while they were &amp;quot;struck with towels and shirts that had the ends balled in knots or items tied inside to inflict pain,&amp;quot; according to the\u00A0the Dayton Daily News. As Tess Koman points out\u00A0in her sorority hazing article, each year, despite bans, hazing happens across college campuses around the country. I have to ask, with stuff like this occurring with alarming frequency, will we ever properly oversee these institutions to make sure kids aren&amp;#039;t harming each other and themselves? Or will college students always be college students and the result will always be a few guys running around with missing testicles? Or worse?\u00A0 Follow Laura on  Twitter.
