vandalsquirrel...where do you get the treating people like crap argument? yelling at them is to push them harder. and in regards to pledging people who already have the qualities you look for, that is very hard. lots of times people put on a front or exaggerate who they are to look good for other people. only under pressure do people's real personalities come out. and i agree that military and greeks are two different groups. but building a bond can be the same can't it? isn't that what greeks try to do, build brotherhood? and who better to model that after then the military?

Yelling at people and getting in their face, instead of treating them like adults or human beings with respect = treating them like crap to me.
Under pressure people's real personalities do not always come out. Maybe it is because I studied psychology and sociology in college, but that isn't true. If I am under pressure because I have finals and my father died, that isn't my true personality, it is a situation, and one that I can't control. Someone acting out "Dazed and Confused" covering me in condiments and sending me through a car wash, and treating me poorly is something I can control, and under pressure I'd get up and walk away because I have self worth and self esteem. Those are two qualities I want in my sisters, and I wouldn't want sisters who a) treat others that way or b) let themselves be treated that way.
