Yes, be proud that you're recruiting someone who has so little respect for themselves they will allow you take the easy way out by denegrating them and treating them poorly in an effort to gain your acceptance.
Sorry, that was pretty harsh, but hazing is too easy. There are some great ways to accomplish team building and bonding without hazing. Yes, they take more planning and involvement by the whole chapter to execute, but it can be done. It's unfortunate that there are still chapters out there that think putting new members down is the only way to learn to respect one another and build a bond. You have to give respect to get respect.
If it were me, I would be looking for the person that already knows how to respect others and build positive bonds with people because it ensures a stronger brother/sisterhood for the future...
