Its been a while since I have been on here, but many of you may remember me as a staunch supporter of "hazing with a purpose."
AO Cutie Pi, did I here that right? A fund raiser is now hazing?
KSig RC, I think we have been down this road before. Any chapter that puts its fear of being acused of hazing ahead of its duty to train/mold the new Brothers is, in my view, doing a disservice to itself and the entire Greek community. My "Brotherhood" can only survive if the Brothers are loyal to a fault and have proven to be so. I have been an Alumni for over ten years now (Why does it seem that college freshmen are getting younger? Do they graduate high school in 9th grade now?). When I do go back, I know walking in the door who these brothers are, even though I may have never met some of them. You cannot re-create or duplicate that kind of "Brotherhood" by any other means.
MoxieGrrl, you don't want to have sleepless nights and be humiliated? Sleepless nights have a purpose. Have you ever been up for 2 days at a time simply for someone else's benefit. Would you? Humiliated? There is nothing you could do to me or that I could do in front of my Brothers that would humiliate me. Now, you may ask how did it get that way? I can assure you that it was not because I was not hazed. It is a byproduct of it. Nudity and "sex acts" are a great equalizer to bringing down the walls of humility. (I am not going into details here and my statement does not imply anything homosexual, so don't ask.)
shadokat, you are kidding right? Pledges equal in a house? See above. How can or could you possibly create anything special like that?
DeltAlum, sodomy is illegal in many states. Do you abide by that law also? So is a speed limit. And Stop signs require a "Full Stop"............................................. ..
33girl, If our pledges do not want to do anything, the door is always open. One way, of course.
My point is that there are chapters out there that do not bend over to the politically correct. You must be very careful and deliberate with decisions. The payoff for me is the absolute best Brotherhood on earth. That does not come easy. It does not come without a price and a risk. However, the reward is well worth it.
Be careful out there. Many politically correct do gooders would love to see the remaining old school houses come down.
Semper Fi.
