Just need to make one comment here. While hazing may create a bond between pledge brothers/sisters, it can distance the chapter from the national organization as a whole. Last year, a good friend of mine pledged a national organization on his campus (NIC). This fraternity had the reputation for hazing the most out of a campus on which hazing generally was pretty prevalent. He became best friends with all of his pledge brothers and after he got in, he became a diehard brother of the fraternity. Something shady happened with his chapter. He has been in for about a year now, however, neither he, nor any of his pledge brothers have been initiated. I asked him to see his fraternity pin and he said he never got one. Since he pledged, he has had a little brother, yet he was never initiated. I didn't wanna make a big deal out of this with him, but it seemed like either his chapter thought that they were above the national fraternity as a whole, or they just couldn't get their act together.
