Some hazing is needed.

Yep I said it, however it's true. Now beating or physically hurting pledges its stupid beyond belief, however having required meetings, study hours, and exercise such as morning runs, etc. is fine as for "lock-ins" they can be fine to, along with lineups. When you make it through pledging it shouldn't be easy there should be trials and tribulations. You will be closer to your pledge class and feel a sense that you earned it instead of having it handed to you like some fraternities who use the AM or Associate Member term and don't even require the AMs to attend events.

Oh yeah and despite depledging (despining) man up and don't report them its just...well...a dick thing to do.
