So don't act like you know what you're talking about or what those of us that have been through it feel. You don't have a clue.

DM, you fail to realize that many of those on this board who oppose hazing were once hazed themselves. Take me, for example. I pledged a local sorority on my campus that forced me to be submissive to them at all times on and off campus; who humiliated me time and time again. And what was that for? It was for nothing! They simply did it because it was "tradition". Needless to say, I depledged and it was one of the best decisions of my life. I don't think I'm a weak person because I left. I was a better person for standing up to those tw@ts. Heck, my own MOTHER never treated me that way...and what gives them the right to do so?
I decided to give Greek Life another chance with AGD--they never hazed me nor did they force me to prove how much I wanted to be a part of their group. Yes the bonds of friendship are there--and what makes you think they're any different from your organization? Do you think that yours are better because you were hazed? Riiiiight.
So I guess you can say that I do know how it feels like to be hazed. I'm just sorry that I let it get that far. My experiences are what formed my opinions...so yes, I do have a clue!
