What a low rent way to prove loyalty to your org., sigh only in Texas. I am a life long Texan born in Baylor Hospital in Dallas I have seen a lot of stupidity dealing with hazingthat seems very Texas, including cattle prods,trips to ranches for hazing and branding, my chapter branded 18 pledges with a brand fozen in Dry Ice on the last day of hell week, we ended this "tradition" when we cut hazing in 1988. I always regretted getting branded it hurt for several days, and I felt less self esteem because I had let other humans do this to me because "I wanted to belong".
I think charters should be pulled if this was an organized group initiated activity.
I have a seven year old son whom I love very much, I would be absolutely furious if he mutilated himself to prove his "loyalty"to a GLO . Matter of fact I'm not sure I'm going to let my son pledge,as much as I beleve in the ideals behind fraternal living. I agree with the dad!
All the younger GC"s you'll have kids one day.
