On hazing

[James]

I am going to go out on a limb and say that men and women bond differently.

Most men would not willingly go through a sororities idea of a new member program. They might consider that kind of bonding to be uhm . . . haxing lol Or at least anti-masculine.

For example: A lot of sororities seem to emphasize Crafts? Like making small little cute gifts for their littles and others.

That would be an unusual guy thing lol.

I think there is stuff that women would automatically think was hazing, that men would consider just normal.

Someone help me out with an example?

Gart, you must have been hit on the head during your "wonderful" hazing experience. So we'll show some grace and chalk it up as temporary insanity.

For the record, my pledge class had and still do have, a very close relationship. And we weren't hazed so your arguments carry no currency here.

In civilized worlds, we demonstrate our commitment to people and organizations by giving freely of our time, talent and treasure. We're there to celebrate good times and to comfort in bad times.

I don't buy for one second that hazing is needed to create a lasting bond of friendship.
