I have been monitoring this thread for a while and it seems that everyone has strong opinions. I would like to know this, how can any person who joined a fraternity/sorority be judged negatively by their intake process especially after 1990 when the MIP came into affect? What if that person who wasn't 'pledged' has served his/her community consistently on behalf of their organization and just for their own enjoyment be judged negatively just because they didn't go through an X week process or perhaps they didn't get a 'beat down'. I mean it wasn't their fault, and they couldn't very well say I want to be pledged because there isn't supposed to be any. From what i have read there are members who have gone through the so called right way and have done nothing for their organizations and there are those who went through the MIP and do nothing as well. There are bad apples everywhere. Iunderstand that this is a topic that I won't fully understand until I am on the otherside of the fence, but coming from the side of humanity and Christian principle, this argument makes no sense and is so counterproductive. There is so much more in this world that needs and should be discussed.
