You're absolutely correct N4L. EVERYBODY hazes at FAMU. 9 times out of 10 if you are in any campus org, you were hazed to get into it. The non-greek orgs haze just in an attempt to give themselves some yard credibility. At HBCU's becoming a member of the D9 is extremely desirable (to say the least). However, everybody can't join. So people try to get the same respect, admiration, attention of D9 orgs by immitating them (i.e. having "lines", getting D9 style nalia, hazing etc). I think it's a mess and people who do that are clownish. But it is prevalent at FAMU.
Coincidentally, my ex-hub was also a member of Kappa Psi, the pharmacy frat. Um....they pledge hard...harder than some frats. That is all I will say about that. I think it's corny.
Yes, people are hazed relentlessly to be a member of the Marching 100. Our band is legendary, they've played all over the world, everybody wants to be down...you have to "earn" your way in. That is the way it is.
*shrugs shoulders* Hazing is prevalent at FAMU. I wonder if it is just us or do any other HBCU's have the same problem. Anybody?
