Well, it sounds to me like your answer is you don't like it but you're willing to put up with it to get into the fraternity you want.

I would keep in mind that several things can happen as a result of hazing, depending on how severe. 1-you can end up dead. Literally. It happens far too often. 2-you can end up humiliated and less of a man as a result 3-your fraternity can lose its charter if caught and then you're outta luck on your fraternity experience (also happens a lot) 4-you can find it a funny experience that was not so bad and it helped you bond with your pledge brothers. So the question is, does the risk of 1, 2 and 3 diminish because of the possibility of 4?

Hazing is a big word and there are a lot of things that are called hazing that any normal person would not consider abuse. But if it involves alcohol, substantial loss of sleep, inability to attend classes, or personal safety, I personally would say these are no guys to be friends with. But of course that would mean you'd have to pledge and cause a scene if it turns out that's what's going on. Or you could state your limits in an interview and deal with the consequences.

But fraternity guys, am I wrong here, or was this guy's chain being yanked?
