I appreciate the frank responses.
Two things to say about hazing.
One, if I was ever in a position to be verbally/mentally hazed, that would mean a house found someone of my age and background acceptable. That would be a negative within a larger positive.
And two, compared to infantry basic training, bulldog light infantry NCO's, and a year and a half in firefights with Iraqi insurgents from Anbar to Baghdad, I don't think a couple of 19 year olds yelling at me for forgetting someone's middle name would register all that high on the boiling blood pressure scale. =)
Though I would hope that any hazing would be verbal/mental only, because I wouldn't take too kindly to even brothers laying hands on me intending harm. =) And though I may not be 18 any more, I'm a 33 year old light infantry arctic trained ski trooper, Army ju jitsu instructor, decorated combat veteran, and the reflexes might kick in.
(Probably not, but in my warped sense of humor that would be somewhat funny)
Anyhow I will give it a shot. If they like me, right on. If not, nobody was ever killed by a pipedream.
