Fraternities and sororities are definitely not exclusive. You cannot take a population of 25000 people and say you only handed out 50 bids. why? because you only had 52 interviews.
why can't physical stuff be right and wrong at the same time? it's wrong b/c it's against the law but it works b/c it allows people to quit thus making it a barrier to entry for prospective members and that is my whole point. i am on here looking for an alternative to hazing that will give me the same exclusivity that we have now ie 40% of a pledge class failing.
astalum, maybe you're right. maybe i don't understand what greek life is about. so why don't you tell me what it's supposed to be? is it supposed to truly be based upon brotherhood, philanthropy, and gpa? b/c if that's true then why is the stereotype that greeks only drink and party? maybe the real greeks who follow the ideologies that you mention are the honor societies? and what kind of brotherhood do you have? i've realized that brothers in my fraternity who have gone thru hazing actually are a lot closer then brothers at other fraternities who don't haze. case in point: before i pledged i used to go to a lot of fraternity parties. i went to this one house and one brother came in and was like, "hey i know you, aren't you in my fraternity?" now you tell me what kind of brotherhood that is. when i went to rush for my fraternity, every brother there knew every other brother's name/age/where they were from and knew even more about their own pledge brothers.
why do i get rid of 30-40% of pledges? b/c i want to give everyone an equal chance that's why. everyone who wants to pledge a fraternity should be able to pledge in my opinion and i want to see who comes out alive. if i only gave bids to those i thought would be good brothers, i could be easily missing a diamond in the rough. this is why i encourage everyone to come out and then we see who can hack it. and this is for hazing or non hazing i want to eliminate some people.
