OK, I'm in Alpha Phi Omega and this is VERY offensive to me.

We have a pledging process because we don't have membership selection and need a way to determine fitness for membership. It most assuredly is NOT synonymous with hazing.

HAZING AND PLEDGING ARE NOT SYNONYMOUS. If you think that, it's either because you've never seen an effective pledge program, or because you've been brainwashed.
