For better or worse, a lot of the behavior that was once brushed aside as "college kids will be college kids" is now considered a serious offense.

Doubt if "Animal House" could get made today.

Well, society's become a lot safer.  I think about the things I did in high school and college, and there were probably a 1/2 dozen incidents that I'll never discuss with my parents.  But then my granddad was a frat pledge at Stanford in the 1930s, and part of his hazing was to be dumped unceremoniously in Monterey in his underwear, drunk as a skunk at 4:30 a.m..  He grinned about it as he relayed the story (took some clothes off of a drying line, hitched his way back to Palo Alto).  These days, people would be horrified.  Both of my sons rushed a frat, considered to be somewhat mild in terms of hazing.  As near as I can tell, it was some very embarrassing, comparatively few dangerous things at a level of danger that wouldn't include a ride to the morgue.
