Clearly, you are completely narrowminded on the subject believing that you are above the law, as well as the policies your own brothers have voted into being. But again, I suppose that is neither here nor there, because you believe you and the offending prestigious chapters are above such policies.

....Can I be you when I grow up? Seriously, you said exactly what I was too fusturated to properly articulate.

And an aside:

I guess I'm too narrowminded to understand why you would want to place someone in harm's way that you claim to care about, or that you want in your bond. I also seem to miss the point of humiliating/degrading someone that you want to join your society.

Well, it certainly appears you have a narrowminded view of the topic. Oh I forgot, hazing has to be degrading/humiliating/harmful.

I stand corrected, I should have made myself more clear. I can understand why an organization would want its potential members to be closer and why they would use activities to cultivate that as well as a respect for the letters they hope to eventually wear.

However (and this is the part I should have made more clear), I was referring to specific catagories of the broad defination of "hazing" (the type that tends to get chapters in trouble). I simply don't understand it.

My apologies for the ambiguity.

LOL, you do not have to worry, he is always contrary.

He never had a chapter removed from a campus for hazing (?).

Backers of hazing are becoming extinct.

Although this makes no sense.....as usual....mostly because you have yet to get a firm grasp on the English language at your old age..........I am going to assume that this should be translated as: "Has he never heard of a chapter removed from a campus for hazing (?). "
To this, I would reply : Yes, moron, I have heard of chapters getting removed from campuses. This is a moot point and has nothing to do with the current conversation.

Backers of hazing are becoming extint.

Backers of the proper/traditional way to pledge a fraternity are becoming extinct.

.......and it is destroying the Greek system.

Just wanted to throw this out there... My fraternity was founded against the ideals that you are so fond of. What is proper or traditional to one organization is not necessarily proper or traditional for another.

Interesting thread...
