Postulant is a terrible world. It sounds like a pustule.

Membership education prior to initiation is not hazing. Hazing is an illegal and unauthorized action made without the consent of the membership or the parent organization. It is a poor choice made by immature people who believe that physical or psychological torture is the right way to assess your loyalty to a social organization. Membership education is supposed to consist of learning your organization's history and values, and bonding as a group through healthy activities like ropes courses, workshops, community service events, and attending university events together.

Anyone who participates in hazing, whether a new member or an initiate, should be called a "pustule." Some may have you believe you can't be a true brother unless you jump into a garbage can filled with cottage cheese and sardines, but I would rather think that you'd have more self-respect than to do something so ridiculous.
