Exactly- but more than a little needy.
Georgia has a thriving Greek community with big chapters in all social ranks.
So you would have to be a real douche to not find somewhere that would pledge you.
A&F was not really around in a big way when I was in college, but we most definitely banned certain clothes and other things for our pledges.
It is part of making them understand high school is over and that it is time to grow up and be a man.
And frankly it is usually more of a joke. Any pledge who would seriously be offended or inconvenienced by having to give up the kind of stuff we banned is not the kind of person we would have considered bidding in the first place.
Sadly, some come to college beyond salvation.
