Live-in and I had a conversation last night when I mentioned that most first time posters on GC bump the hazing threads.
He said "I just don't get it. I mean, I'm not greek but I don't think I could be if a group of guys decided to tell me what to do at any point."
I gave him the eye. "You played club hockey in college. You can't tell me that you guys didn't haze."
He adamantly refused that allegation. I asked him if the new guys were encouraged or made to do something silly.
He smiled and said "Well the new guys drank out of a hockey skate at our parties."
GROSS! I told him that was hazing and he was adamant that he never drank out of it, and no one made them do it.
Anyway it turned into a long conversation about hazing and what it does, the psychological effects, and how even if someone isn't made to do something, or told that they won't be accepted by the group, a person can still feel like they should do something that they normally wouldn't in order to be accepted and it would still be hazing.
Regardless, this thread is completely nonsensical to me anymore so I thought I would share another completely nonsensical story about hazing.
