I didn't want to post,cause we've done this hazing topic one to many times. But after reading the orginal post,it left me with a couple of thoughts
If you're truely doing you're research, the first thing you do is check out the offical website of the organization that you're interested in. All of the official websites for the Divine 9 say that they DO NOT HAZE!
So,Jilla82, that should answer one of your questions right there. If the OFFICIAL website says it's a NON-HAZING organization, then it's a NON-HAZING organization plain and simple.
From what I've learned and seen the intake process differs from chapter to chapter, school to school, region to region. The point is you don't know EXACTLY what's going to happen UNTIL you are EXTENDED an invitation to go on that journey.
My final thought is why are you so concerned about hazing in the first place. [Let me make my point first before everybody starts jumping down my back.]
Yes, hazing is a serious issue,but the more important issue is you and your self-worth. Do you think getting beat down is what BGLO's are all about? Is that why you want to "pledge"? Cause you think it will make you a "real man"? I'm not going to go into a long speech about the positive aspects of the Greek System,but let me just say that if you think that getting beat down is all there is to joining a greek organization then maybe this isn't something you should persue at this time
Disclaimer: The views here are strickly my own. I am a non-greek and know nothing about the intake process
