Hazing has been around since the inception of Greek life. It is unfortunate that the fond recall that your relatives have is missing. The Omega that my son will pledge (hopefully) will not resemble what I knew. My memories are of hard, but not dangerous or life-threatening times. I would be interested in your research. Everyone screams about the dangers and hazards, but do you realize that hundreds of thousands of greeks pledged each year with only one or two noticable incidents (maiming or death). The real threat is lawsuits. I have 4 l.bs who did not make it. Under todays laws, any of them could have sued for 6 figures. Not becaused they got injured, but becaused they were hazed (took wood, dressed alike, ran , did errands) Ever hear one of your National officers tell a pledging story?. I personally know that one of our national officers was one of the most feared hazers in the state, now he toes the party line for fear of lawsuits. All of our respective national officers know that Pledging makes a better bruh/soror, if not member (it obviously did not dissuade them!) but they have to spit that anti-pledging propaganda for the suits. Todays underground pledging is dangerous because it is a bastardized version of the real thing and is not structured properly, nor are the hazers and pledgees physically or psychologically prepared. Therefore, injuries have mounted along with lawsuits and suspensions, split lines, paper vs. real, prospectives worried about getting a "beat down", and this pseudo gang mentality of some chapters. I never seen so many people proud of the fact that they did not pledge to get their membership. I have seen too many one weekend wonders and check writers. Have to stop rambling. Much love Soror.
