Yes it happens in our community, and we are taking steps to eliminate it. You dont end 150 years of habit overnight. Shit, LXA ended pledging 30 years ago and we still have soem chapters out there who use the term. Ya dont climb the mountain overnight.
But yeah, lets look at the millitary WAY before we look at greeks. And I'm not even talking about rough physical training to prepare for millitary service. ask ANYONE who was ever in the navy aboard a ship what happened to them the first time they crossed the equator. Lets just say it involves a cherry, a mouth, whipped cream, and the fattest basterd on board. "Oh but its tradition" BullShit. Sounds like all of us about 30 years ago. I think I counted 1 maybe 2 references to military in the article... oh, but I guess since they have their own hospitals and dont come through her "emergency department" it doesnt count. Fluck off.
