I'm going to refer to about 10 posts ago, when I put up that long blog entry. Read it if you haven't already, and read it again if you have. You don't know you you're recruiting. You meet people, you make small talk with them, you have a couple weeks (if that) to get to know them, and then you start hazing them. You don't know intimate details about their lives, you don't truly know what kind of person they are, and you don't know if even the smallest thing you do can affect them.
People who support hazing say that if a person can't handle the pressure and hard work, then they're not worth being in the fraternity/sorority. That's kind of sad. What you're essentially saying, is that if Joe Schmoe received a bid, started your new member program, even if he has impressive grades, is on the baseball team, is involved with student government, and volunteers twice a week at a soup kitchen, you won't think twice about turning him away from your organization because he doesn't want to be hazed and "can't handle it"?
Does that make sense?
