how do you get around the system if your process is just tradition? I am not really referring to physical aspects of the process but more location oriented things, where things are done (on/off campus), having Associate Members follow certain instructions, give respect, etc.
Location's change for us (it keeps it more interesting
) Also, our pledges know that if they start disrespecting us, we'll rip them and if they do it one more time, they're automatically blackballed. If you keep a stiff upper lip and show them that you're serious about your organization and you show it to them correctly, they'll catch on and act accordingly. Remember, if you dont' show them respect, they won't show you any.
Do you modify your entire process to comply with university regulation? How do you make sure Associate Members don't run and scream "hazing" to the administration?
Honestly, the University doesn't care. As long as a pledge doesn't die they stay out of the GLO's business.
We're pretty picky about pledges, we won't take anyone we have doubts about. Plus, if your activities are
that bad that cause pledges to go and complain about hazing, the activity had probably gone too far.
