What the hell? That has got to be the single most pointless and idiotic thing I've read all day. Cat food? Seriously?

This is something I don't get about hazing. Even barring all the legal and organizational troubles you face, why the hell would someone go through all the time and energy (and money) to cook up some weird stunt like this? It seems like any logical mind would conclude, at the very least, that normal pledge education is a lot easier.

Preston, Preston, Preston: I doubt that logic was being applied at all, and "mind" may be stretching things in this case, for that matter.

Of course, even waay back in high school I was the type of person who, sometimes silently, sometimes openly, countered the cliche motivational saying, "if a thing is worth doing it's worth doing well" with what I still think is a reasonable point: "then ask if it's worth doing!"

Surprisingly often it turns out that it's not worth doing.
