The idea that pledging is often not done "right" can be directly attributed to the need for orgs to rethink their procedures, methods, and most importantly, the very people to which they extend membership.

Well stated, my Brutha...
But the fact remains that the reality today is dudes want to pledge; and those bruthas that are already in will continue hazing them whether it's legal or not. With that in mind, is there a way the fraternities can have a rite of passage that EVERYBODY IS WILLING TO COMPLY WITH without someone getting seriously hurt or killed? Would shifting the liability to the prospective be the answer?
