Pledging, yet again

Yes, I am an unregistered poster, and yes, I know how some of you hate that so much. I just have one comment. I think that many of these discussions about pledging, among other things, which you (members of respective fraternities and sororities) are having with non members (and even with each other) are things that should remain within the organization. For one it just doesn't look good, particularly the members who would striate the organizations into those who they felt "pledge" and those who didn't.

What if someone went through a process, but they didn't get their ass beat, does this mean they haven't pledged. Sorry, I digress...

Secondly, I feel, (and I am not a member) that this is simply airing you dirty laundry in public. These are thing which should be discussed among members, in members only forums. Anyone and everyone can read post in this room and all other rooms on this forum. So even if we can't respond unless registered, we can read and soak it all in. The only thing that threads like this accomplish is to present a not so pretty picture of you and your organization.
If you have issues, solve them in-house and quit venting in a public forum where your words have no true effect. Go to your national gatherings and affect some change, stop just whining about it.

And Please, I beg of you as an interest, stop destroying your mystique. Stop dragging the name of brotherhood through the mud, because for better or worse they are all your brothers.

I would caution, as so many have, that the web is not as anonymous as you think and--correct me if I am wrong-- but aren't there penalties for being involved in pledging activities after 1990 (7BA94). Actually that is a rhetorical question, because that is probably confidential information also.

Well I have said my piece. Anyone who agrees with me feel free to respond. All others...don't. Joking .
