Kuddos to all of the above Posters, LXAAlum, DeltaAlum, Rudey, and LatinaAlumna!
Hazing can come in many forms and it can be harmful in many ways to a young and impressive person.
Beating or Berating someone is not impressive to me! It is demeaning and I for one would have dropped them like a hot rock!
We used to have a thing of lighting the match and reciting the Greek Alphabet, the Actives first and then see if the Alums could do it then the Associates. It was a very subtle hint, a maybe you need to study, learn and have a little fun out of it! Not to berate them but to try and show what it took to learn about not only Our Fraternity, but the Total Greek World.
I guess, it takes someone getting hurt, harmed or killed to make someone come tho thier senses, then the problem is, it is done and The Boys will Be Boys goes right out of the window along with the Charter!
This helps no one, Your Fraternity/Soroity is closed and there may never be any new Brothers/Sisters ever again or for at least 3-5 years!
Now that would really make an impression on me!
