mls2008 - What organizational goals are you attempting to reach by yelling at, humiliating, and forcing your pledges into pushups, etc? You have yet to really address the point that I have been making over the past four pages - that different organizations require different management methods to obtain different goals. Football coaches need to make their players run laps because it is a physical task essential to winning games. Pleadge educators should not follow the same management approach because they should be attempting to achieve fraternal goals such as academic excellence, philanthropic good, and betterment of brothers. When an organization's goal is to create and foster "brotherhood", it will not happen if you have a strict heiarchy of supervisor/subordinate but will more likely come about through mutual respect between brothers instead of forcing a pledge to do curls while being yelled at. You asked what the alternatives are to "hazing" in your OP and you have been given many of them yet you choose to argue with human rights and the laws that have been established to protect these basic liberties. Good luck with your chapter while it lasts.
