This girl was someone's daughter. Her mother carried her for nine months, and she had people who cared deeply for her. Show a little respect.
And regarding the stupidity of her choices -- I'll wager every one of you made stupid choices at that age -- and many of you are still doing so. Shame on you.

Agree.
If you are a baby boomer what are the chances you didn't drive drunk or get in a car with a driver who was drunk in the early to mid 70's. Drunk driving became a huge issue in the 80's. After people finally woke up to the fact it was dangerous. I know in my high school several died while driving drunk.
LOL at the sorority comment and not doing stupid things. Waiting to hear what planet that was on.
Also, some people die from water drinking contests. Water is toxic at a certain level in the human body and I have plenty of sources to back that up, in case someone wants to dispute and thinks any amount of water is "safe".
This was a public event. I won't pretend that hazing never happens, but there's no way they would do it this openly and publicly. They'd be shut down by their nationals without hesitation.
I was in a sorority in college; we never had an eating contest; and generally didn't do stupid things.
I can't imagine that eating contests would be popular in sororities, with the hyper-calorie-consciousness that women that age have. It sounds much more like a guy thing. Like the goldfish-swallowing contests frats used to have back in the 30's, or whenever that was.
Cook they have picked a worse food to have an eating contest with?
Some lady died drinking too much water too fast in a contest. I think eating contests in general are disgusting and wasteful, and yeah on top of all that you can die.

This is really the major point.
An individual who chooses to participate in such a contest is pretty stupid and shouldn't make this choice.
However, these contests shouldn't be occurring at all. They are very dangerous and should be prohibited.

Oh, come on! As if the entire population of the US in that era drank to excess! Maybe that was a common problem among frat boys, and maybe even with a few dormies (?), but there were plenty of women and men who avoided that scene, and just weren't interested. There always have been, and always will be. For that matter, back in the 70's and 80's, few students had cars; most couldn't afford one.
