Hazing creates fake brothers.
Take a selection:
Brothers who were forced to come together because of doing jumping jacks on glass at 3 in the morning during finals week,
or
Brothers who came together over the entire semester building a habitat for humanity house, starting from beginning to finish?
Pledging assures the house can stay strong. You do not see the true side of a person over a 1 week rush period. However, a 1 semester pledge period allows you to really get to know someone before coming a brother, and allows you to see if he will be dedicated to the house by showing up other than formal dinner/meeting and if he will pay his simple dues on time. Plus, initiation will mean that much more to you if you've been working for it.
