Most of the stories here don't strike me all that bad either. If this were not a public forum, I would have some to share. There are creative ways to do some really crazy stuff without alcohol, nudity or physical danger being involved. And it is the stuff that makes for good stories later for those who endured it.
But I gotta say, the whole thing about taking a guy you know in advance you are going to blackball really sucks. A good pledgemaster doesn't need to blackball a pledge to keep the others in line. If a house needs to pledge guys who they intend to blackball- that is a sign they don't know how to keep control of their pledges.
But back on point- the worst hazing incident.
The worst one I know of (and that I know to have actually happened even though it was not my house) is actually not that bad in the grand scheme of things- but it was just so freakin' stupid and dumb because it made the 2 pledges and the house look really bad.
A few years ago at UGA, two fraternity pledges were forced to hold hands and walk the full length of Milledge Avenue (where many of the fraternities and almost all of the sororities are located) and then walk down Baxter from Milledge to the UGA campus and back (a major thoroughfare with lots of traffic.)
And one of the pledges was wearing the chapter's letters when they did this.
That was just about the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
