I was the last traditional pledge class of my chapter, the week and all. I have seen first hand the kind of guys you get from both systems and the traditional guys are brothers where as the newer BM guys are more like buddies. I know very few of their names, they arn't even unified within their own pledge class if you can even call it that anymore, and try to start problems with every older brother. we weren't forced to respect and revere the older brothers during pledging, we were shown how hard it was for them to get to where they are now and we came into that respect and reverence in our own time. sure getting hazed sucked but i would go back to being a pledge in a heart beat because it was a blast, and every single traditional brother in my chapter would do the same. On Wednesday night you hear that alot (for those "balanced men" out there wednesday night will change your life). But people don't get a wednesday night, or know the feeling the last morning when you have your induction ceremony. those are feelings that no
