This hazing thing is a big debate lately. I Have to Agree with Docetboy that a group project like that definately helps house unity in ways hazing NEVER could. However I also have to agree with James that neither example is a real-world scenario.


By the way: IB chapter of K/\P DOES NOT HAZE! We're a young chapter and don't wanna get busted for anything. And to answer your question James, pledging can weed out the bad pledges because if they don't complete all their interviews, philanthropies, community services, and house improvements they don't cross. We have a "Phantom Pledge" in this current pledge class, and we're thinking of dropping him because he doesn't participate. Also if their grades aren't high enough, they don't cross. THAT IS HOW NORMAL PLEDGING CAN WEED OUT BAD PLEDGES. However, this works at our college because we have a 4% greek population, so if you wana join, you ARE determined to join. At schools with a bigger greek population people may join for all the wrong reasons, where hazing definately helps weed them out.
