-- if the members loathe the new members/pledges enough to treat them like that, WHY did they bid them in the first place?

-- what is the fascination with filth? Urine in this case, feces for suburban Chicago's "powderpuff" fiasco.

-- where are the values of respect for others, kindness, compassion, brotherhood, and gentlemanly behavior?

I've often wondered this with any GLO that hazes.........it just seems completely pointless to me. All the time they spend hazing pledges/new members could be spent really getting to know everyone, bonding/strengthening the brotherhood/sisterhood, and even learning new things about oneself. These incidents cost big money to GLO's every year in lawsuits and insurance fees, which is money that could be better spent on brotherhoods/sisterhoods, ritual appreciations, educational programming, and putting greek life in a more positive light.

Think people.......is any of it worth it at all? Really worth it? What about in cases where a brother or sister dies as a result? Is it all really worth the life of a brother or sister? I dont care which governing council your GLO is a member of NPC, IFC, NPHC.......or even an independent group......there is no justification for this behavior sorry.
