Wow, this is a deep question. I am not Greek as of yet, but this makes me wonder, does this process that I hope to undergo, does it form a bond THAT strong? People don't even do this for their family, best friends, spouses, tu sabe?
I don't mean to question anybody's Greek integrity by questioning your processes, this is just coming from someone on the outside.
It's really easy to say you'd go back. But would you really submit yourself to that? Could you bring yourself back to a place where you know you'll probably be starved, beaten, tortured, and raped? Who has the nerve, the courage, or the craziness to do that to themselves? Who will take care of your family while you're gone? But then, how do you live with yourself knowing you left ANY human being behind, whether it's your frat/soror or not?
I am interested to see people's replies. Good question.

Don't hold your breath for many people to answer this question HONESTLY. I guess the holiday prohibited many from answering; but there are some out there that simply can't/wont answer because like you said-IT IS A DEEP QUESTION. I wish most people that choose to answer it would READ IT FIRST!(This post is entitled "Hood II") :-)
I've been in my fraternity for a long time now; and I've seen many brothers practice what they preach. They've shown unbelievable brotherhood; and then there are those that took the letters and ran-perpetrating while trying to impress their friends. This happens in all fraternities and sororities. To each his/her own. I know the reality of it. I know what to expect from it. I just wanted to get some people to think about the responsibility of selling brotherhood and sisterhood, and what prospective people expect from it.
Remember Pledging vs. Intake? Yall feel me?
