I realize why GLOs & schools have to renounce "hazing", its a liability thing. But hazing is a double-edged sword, without it, greek chapters go downhill...the quality of guy in a fraternity that doesnt haze compared to one that does is very evident. If you didnt have to work your ass off to EARN those letters, you will never respect it as you should, and you will most likely be a slapdick active that doesnt do anything. There is a reason the millitary trains to "break you down" then build you up, its the same concept.

By hazing I am NOT talking about making pledges drink, or any homosexual crap, not making them eat nasty stuff...etc. im talking good ole' fashioned military style line-ups, scavenger hunts, and other things that the pledge class has to work together to overcome some type of obstacle. THATS what builds unity.

Agree.
