Please, tell me you are JOKING!!! Cause if you're trying to tell me that you think joining a group of men you call brothers, you call friends, is a bond that is only formed by the stress enduced practice of hazing then I say you are a complete masochist. You compare it to war?!? To people who have been in compat and fought for their lives?? COMMON!!! People go to war to fight for a cause. Their bond is formed in their attempt to achieve this cause. The don't go to war to form bonds. It's a bi-product of their common goal. You are comparing the importance of having men in a fraternity accept you as their brother to fighting for your country? You're quite the patriot. If it takes war like conditions to bring you closer to your 'brothers', then you are a masochist. If that's what it takes to gain YOUR committment and whole hearted brotherhood, then you don't know what REAL brotherhood is really all about.
