problem with that...

not that i dont' find construction in building a pledge class around hazing to an extent. But no offense to your fraternity, but if you are just now getting chartered i assume the older brothers in the fraternity, pretty much just started the fraternity without going through any kind of hazing or innitiation process.

Its hard to be hazed by and still respect someone who you know did not have to go through it.

I would just get the money or kick em out, you can't expect much dedication when still in the colony period, my friend became a founding father of a fraternity last semester as a pledge and they had the same problem, him and his pledge brothers really didn't do crap. Its slowly starting to work out now though.

What you said is so true, but usualy the ones who started the group are working their rears off to get it done.

But here again it just takes a few to ruin it for the many and the growth.

Live or die is the question isnt it?

Depends on what you are doing to the little lads.

With that said, I wouldn't waste the time or effort coming up with inventive ways to bring the fear of God to little shits that act like that.

I agree.

If you're hitting them or something equally ridiculous, they won't respect you regardless but even more so if you didn't go through it yourself.

Be inventive in how you treat the pledges. Make it something that can become annual pledge activities.(since you're still a colony, events like this are important I think)
