OK, since you have no experience with hazing at all, how can you say that the guys who stuck it out weren't there for the wrong reasons?
I find it hard to believe that all the guys that left were in it for the "wrong reasons". Maybe they had more self-resepect than the other guys did and decided to walk away rather than being humiliated or possibly put in harm's way. Did you ever think of it that way?
For me, membership did mean a lot to me, and I was so excited when it came time for my initiaton, but I would not degrade myself and do things I otherwise would not to just to gain membership. I have more self-resepect than that. That doesn't mean I was just pledging a sorority for the parties and mixers with fraternity boys or any other "wrong reasons" to want to be a part of greek life.
