To all concerned about "hazing":
To be perfectly honest, this topic should be the LAST thing on your mind when looking at joining a GLO. You should be determining if your GPA is at its highest level, if your community service is on point, if you have developed positive relationships with the members of the GLO in which you are interested, etc. There is so much you need to prepare for as an intrestee, that "hazing" if you are concerned at all, should be looked at after you have been accepted to attempt membership. All your worries will be moot (or mute, actually) if you are denied membership because you were focusing upon the wrong things.
If you are accepted into the intake class, you can then be concerned with "hazing." By that point, you will clearly understand what constitutes hazing in that respective organzation. If the group you are interested is "hazing", then I suggest you evaluate whether it is of interest to you to continue the process based upon your own internal goals, objectives and fortitude. People are rarely forced to do things they have no desire to do, and joining a GLO is no exception. I also find the rumors about "hazing" to be far more graphic and exagerated than the truth.
So if your concern about "hazing" overrides all other factors about GLO life that interest you, then maybe GLO life isn't for you at this point--it certainly isn't for everyone
. Hazing was never a factor in my quest to join my Sorority--I was too busy focusing on membreship requirements, and hazing was not on the list of requirements
.
Hope this helps, Shela.
