One thing I noticed right off the bat was how easy it gets every year for people to join a GLO. I think its an insult to those of us who came a number of years ago and went through a bunch of schit and now none of these kids these days have to do anything other than a stupid scav hunt. I joined an org 6 years ago, a year later we were banned from campus and went underground. Lost our charter and almost lost our house, lucky for us we trashed it so bad no one wanted to put the money out to pay to have it fixed up on top of buying the actual house. By the fall of 2001 we were allowed to have our first rush, those guys didnt have to go through schit. They didnt even have a hell week. Personally, I just dont see how you can have the same bond with someone else who didnt go through that same stuff as you did. The way I look at it, if you can make it through some of the stuff done to you with a brother...you guys can make through anything together. I guess being hazed isnt really about are you willing to go thorugh some b.s. in order to be in an org. For me it was more about testing to see what I was willing to endure to be able to have friends that would ride till we die. Seldom in life do people meet or have friends that will be there till the end no matter what. 6 years after our class I still reguarly talk to at least 3/4 of my pledge class (about 50 guys). And believe me, if it wasnt for them as well as other friends....I'd either be dead or in jail. As for the guys who werent in my pledge class and didnt go through the stuff we went through....I probably still talk to 2 of them, out of 120.
