attorneys control,
and they use to try and get
information from the victim
that can be used against them
in their own case.
There's going to be defence
attorneys,
are there going to be defendants?
No.
The defendants are ALLOWED
to be there,
but it's VERY unlikely
that they will be there.
Even in a case like this?
Yes, even in a case like this.
Because I feel that
that would be intimidating.
If they do show up, they can't say
anything. If they do...
indicate in some way that they're
trying to threaten you,
we'll stop the deposition
and cancel it.
And they'll have to
schedule it again.
I want this to go through
and the only thing that I guess
if you know, the individuals
showed up
and then I have to sit in the room
with a whole team of attorneys
plus the people who have
done this to me,
who I'm still kind of fearful of,
you know, just staring into my eyes
while I try to tell the truth -
that's a little intimidating.
Are you confident for Terence?
Very confident.
Done correctly, the truth prevails.
So individuals who will try to
circumvent the system
and to disclaim responsibility
for what they did to him,
they'll be found responsible.
The individuals Terence is suing
deny any wrongdoing.
The university says hazing would be
a violation of its code of conduct.
The national fraternity have closed
the chapter involved.
When you have tradition
and when you have people
so ingrained in commonality
and something that is just...
..expected, it is very difficult
to break that tradition.
Congresswoman Frederica S Wilson
is a proud member of a sorority.
But she has been a prominent
campaigner against hazing
and has successfully introduced
it a criminal offence.
But she has no illusions about the
scale of the problem nationally.
It's a feeling of wanting to belong,
that's what it is.
I-I...
chose this organisation and if this
is the criteria for belonging,
I'm willing to do this.
I'm willing to take the pain,
because I want this so badly.
And that has to stop.
That has to stop.
If chapters are following the ritual
ascribe to, then they do well.
Whenever you have, again,
somebody who deviates from that and
decides to do something to somebody
or do an act that is not consistent
with our values or morals,
that's where we see the problem.
The problem is, that gets more
attention because it is
something that is completely
out of line with what is expected.
Lianne Kowiak's son died while he
was pledging for a fraternity.
Now she campaigns to raise
awareness of the risks.
There is a lot of hazing
that goes on.
It may not be spoken about openly,
there's a lot that is
in a shroud of secrecy.
about the dangers of hazing before
they leave for university.
Well, good morning,
I'm really excited to be here.
Today, she is talking to the senior
students at her daughter
Emma's school.
In order to belong to a group,
whether it's Greek life,
whether it's athletics...
You don't need to be hazed.
There's this like, image
I see at my school where
they think frat boys are cool, but
they don't know the true reality.
I really hope that my mom's speech
really does help and give them
an insight into what
it's really like.
If I can save one life, then that's
one life that I have saved.
It's time well spent.
And to me, making a difference
is very important.
I felt it was really informative,
showed me a lot about what to do
if you're in a situation that you
don't think you can get out of.
I think this just kind of would
help what I would hope to do
and really execute that when I go
into a sorority.
I don't think that a fraternity
is right for me.
I'll try to make some friends
when I'm in college,
but I don't think a fraternity
is the way to go with it.
In Syracuse, to try and help
victims of sexual assault on campus,
Marissa and her friends have set up
The Girl Code Movement.
I think the misconception
about consent
and the misconception about what
lot of intersection of drinking
and sexual assault on campuses...
Right after my best friend's
assault, she was like,
"We need to do something about
this". We're here to be, like,
and I'm here to help."
Like, those three things, like...
mean a world of difference.
Pretty much everyone probably does
have someone they know and just
because they haven't talked about
it, doesn't mean that you
shouldn't care about it.
Through all of that anger
and frustration
and pain of what happened, like,
now I can say that
I'm supporting other people
and that's like the best thing
that I can be doing.
750,000 undergraduate students
a brotherhood or sisterhood.
And with rumours of them
even spreading to British
universities, Greek life is more
popular than ever.
MUSIC PLAYS:
In Florida, after seven days of
initiation rituals
behind closed doors...
RAUCOUS BANTER:
..Jordan and the other pledges
have finally been accepted
into the Gazoni Family.
Gentlemen, you guys just put in
a very long, enduring week,
welcome to the greatest family
in the history...
This week was, uh,
it was definitely an experience!
It was an experience I would
never have anywhere else,
but it was worth it,
it was a good experience, so...
He proved everything he needed
to prove, I promise you that!
What do you mean by that?
Proved that he was a man,
he wants to be a good man.
They put you through the ringer
a bit, to build you up,
to make sure like, you know
that they'd have your back.
It builds a strong brotherhood with
the people you pledge with, as well.
ALL:
# Here's to brother Jordanwho's with us tonight
# He's happy, he's jolly,
he's f***ed up like us
# So drink, motherf***er
# Drink, motherf***er
Drink, motherf***er, drink! #
CHEERING:
Keep on going!
Keep on going!
He did great. He's finished with his
initiation, he's finally a brother!
Gosh, it's like the next step,
you can't wait for your own pledges.
It's incredible! You get to get in a
circle, you're part of the family,
you finally feel like on the same
level as everybody
instead of a step away,
it's incredible.
THEY SING DRUNKENLY
# ..is long
# With many a winding turns
# That leads us to who
# Knows where
# Who knows where. #
