Dear farmboy,
Sorry if you couldn't read between the lines and realize I was talking in a conceptual sense of the ad as how it relates to the Greek community and equating that to any type of "criminal" activity.
For some reason I figured that a junior in college would be able to grasp the analogies I was making. Hazing=Bad. Is that simple enough for you? I am not saying that you haze or that Farmhouse condones hazing, but it is obvious that you don't think that hazing is a problem by your response. TriSigmaTX is right by saying that a mom somewhere could see the ad and when her son asks if he can join XYZ fraternity, she has no frame of reference other than a broken paddle and a pledge lying on the floor.
As an active alumni volunteer for my fraternity I try to emphasize the positive that most Greek members do, rather than the negative things, a few seem to get all the attention. We need to make those few aware of their shortcomings, and instruct them in ways to change their thoughts.
Changing your thoughts and beliefs on hazing is why I posted my original message. Again, not saying you have acted in any way that relates to the ad within your chapter, I don't know you. Your reaction to me is just childish. Once in the real world you will realize even more so how hazing has nothing to do with the fraternal experience that you should be enjoying currently. I hope that people call for the simple fact that the more the general public knows about hazing and the fact that it has nothing to do with fraternities, the better off we will be in the future.
