Sure, it would be nice to have an enjoyable pledge period, or else you wouldn't be joining for the right reasons.
However, as in life, not EVERY MOMENT is enjoyable, right?
Some people join because they think the organization will improve them -- what if hazing, in its own way, allows one to have better insight into how the organization came to be, and how it continues to survive?
