Thank you. Yes. Exactly. It kind of depresses me that someone who isn't even Greek yet (but hopefully will be soon ) understands things that initiated members do not.

It cracks me up that I'm being accused of being "PC" when I'm one of the people always bitching about hazing laws having gone too far. I think that all pledges should have to know their history and their fellow brothers or sisters, as well as complete projects on their own and as a group for the benefit of and pertaining ot the GLO. However, when something really is hazing, I will speak out against it, and this is. Forcing pledges only to be alcohol free teaches them NOTHING having to do with their GLO. Therefore, it's hazing.
