EtienneSAI,
Im sorry you got to the point of frustration that you did. But in a word, sisterfriend...
DITTO!
LOL
Seriously, to all GDI's who claim they know they will get beat down, this is not true. You'd be surprised as to just how many chapters of various orgs have MIP processes.
And secondly, to say that you only want to pledge for the respect is absolutely USELESS. You should go into ANY process knowing that it will be for a reason... correction-- a VALID REASON. It should be a learning process, not 3 months of hell just so that your brothers or sisters will look at you and say "Oh, he/she is cool, they pledged!" PLEASE!!! Don't believe the HYPE!!! Yeah, it's well known that members who don't pledge, don't get much respect. But in the end, it won't reflect negatively on you, but rather on the person throwing shade. Think about it. As 2 human beings, how DARE YOU tell me Im LESS of a person/soror/brother just because I don't live up to your expectations. How dare they disrespect you and all that you do for your org (hopefully, if you're joining the org to do WORK, that is). As a Christian woman, I could never do this to a person just because I knew that they weren't made "the right way".
In a nutshell, yeah, HAZING does happen. But EVERY FRAT or SORORITY will tell you, "YOU ARE A MAN/WOMAN FIRST". Remember that! And realize what it means.
To Icytre: Just a word of caution: Just because someone says "there is a process", That doesnt mean anything. You can go through a "process" of months and months and still be considered PAPER. The question isnt "Is there a process?" but rather, "what kind of process is it?"
And to the unregistered users who asked for the "real deal", and No BS answers, this is as real as it gets. No more, No less.
PEACE: Proper Education Always Corrects Error
