The fact that interviews and signatures are now considered "hazing" is a great indication of how terrible greek life has become in this country. Both of those methods are great ways to get to know the pledge, and for them to get to know you. Interviews were helpful, in that you find out a lot about the person, and also hear about stories that will probably be referenced a good bit over your collegiate career. Yeah, and sometimes it is hard to get them all done, but thats part of the point. Pledging isn't supposed to be easy, and they have to prove to me, as I did to brothers before me, that I deserve to be in the fraternity. God forbid you challenge the pledges. On a side note, playing pool or having a social with the pledges is not a good substitute. Such activities, if replacing traditional pledge duties, put pledges at the same level as a brother, which is not at all the case.
