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

I'm a little worried about is

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

a state law in Florida making

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

and those things we really

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.

She's alerting young people

about the dangers of hazing before

they leave for university.

Well, good morning,

good afternoon everyone -

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

a support group called

The Girl Code Movement.

I think the misconception

about consent

and the misconception about what

rape really is comes from a

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,

"I believe you, I support you

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

are currently pledged to

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 Jordan

who'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. #
