Hazing illegal but persistent - hazing of women cadets at the Virginia Military Institute

by Linda L. Meggett , July 5, 2007

Categories:

The system had to be revamped in 1991 after the Lane Report found that even upperclassmen are hazing victims. The Junior Sword Drill team was terminated because a junior cadet tryout was physically abused by another cadet. The system was also put under a microscope in 1980, 1976 and 1972.

It is unclear if Messer and Mentavlos will return to the military-style college after the holiday break. Nevertheless. The Citadel will post adult supervisors overnight in all barracks -- including Padgett-Thomas Barracks, where Messer and Mentavlos were members of Echo Company -- starting in January in wake of the allegations.

It's important we restore some order and discipline in the system we have." said James Jones, chairman of the school's Board of Visitors.
