WELL SAID!
I agree 100%! It does take a different kind of dedication to learn the ideals/history/government/pride of a orginization. Most people want to walk in and get their badge, they don't realize that they have to earn it by studying and learning about the organizations. They don't realize that there are standards. Anybody can be made to chug a beer or take a whipping, but not anybody will take the time and effort it takes to learn the past/preasent/and future of an organization. They won't take the time to find ways to further their organization's ideals and efforts. Not anybody can balance school and greek life. We can all go to parties and get drunk, but that is NOT what it means to be a member of a greek organization. That is REAL pledging. There is no HARD pledging, there is only REAL pledging.
