Just like I haven't been hazed, but I can tell you that's not a good thing either.
And please, don't tell me what I do and don't know, because I have seen some people seriously upset and physically screwed up because of what was done to them. And you can sit here and say "they couldn't take it" all you want, but that says to me that you just don't care. And that's sad.
And I'm not going to continue to argue with you, because you refuse to address the things that I say (the Army analogy, your chapter struggling with recruitment) simply so that you can get your point across.
So I'm done.
End of story.

OK, i will start with the stabbing comment.
No, you haven't been stabbed and you tell me it is a bad thing to be stabbed, but this is not based on experiences...its based on what you have heard.....
as far as hazing goes..it is an assumption that you have made in your head, a generalization if you will, that all hazing is bad. This is not based on life experience, but rather it is based on what others have told you.
Now, I am not arguing that ALL hazing is good, by any means. But there is a time and place where it is appropriate, and it is for the greater good of the organization.
As I said, being as you haven't experienced it first hand, i don't expect you to understand.
As far as people who complaining not being able to "cut it", i never said anything like that.
I would never dream of forcing a pledge to do something they didn't want to do, nor would i do something to put a pledges life or safety at risk.
As far as the army thing goes, once again, unless you have experienced the boot camp first hand, you have no...insight, and therefor your opinion on this is rather flawed. Thus, your argument on this is rather week.
You bash hazing because of what you have heard, not what you have experienced.
