Reviews"A grim . . . expose by hazing expert Nuwer of the continuing yet largely unacknowledged crisis of death and injury among fraternity and sorority pledges. . . . Nuwer is authoritative and insightful on this subject . . . this makes clear that a good number of easily led youngsters incur grave risks in the supposedly supportive, 'fun' environment of collegiate Greek life, and for its sustained examination of these rarely questioned traditions, Nuwer's work is invaluable."

Nuwer takes a broad look at the problem, examining its fundamental legal and historical roots and describing many instances of abuse and criminal behavior. A moving chronology lists the names of students who have died as a result of hazing activities in the U.S. from 1838 to 2001.
