I realize that.

But there has to be alternatives to a program which, from what I understand, takes no knowledge of the fraternity to actually join. Among other problems with it, including bidding everyone.

edit: I was reading my Divine 9 book (the one by Lawerence Ross...it's not very good) and a respected Kappa Alpha Psi named Travis Smiley said:

"That we have to do something about the ongoing incidence of hazing, while at the same time, maintaining some type of pledge system, which allows the old heads, the old school members to have respect for the new system. It's one thing to do away with hazing, which I'm all for and it can't happen fast enough for me, but it is another thing to radically restructure the pledge process to the extent that the old heads don't give the new initiates any respect."

Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
