Help: Examples of Reform After Hazing Charges

[OldGold&SkyBlue]

Oh, I'm sorry. I won't try and defend my opinion. And how can you judge someone from the 1 to 2 weeks formal recruitment is. I would love to see the kind of loyalty a brother has to me that knows no history of my fraternity, and no respect for me. Maybe its because I'm from the deep south and we view and do our fraternities different from ya'lls. I was more than willing to go through pledging the way the alumni brothers of mine and active brothers did before me. I expect that from the new rushees and pledges that continue to flock to the greek system here in the deep south. Tradition, its in our lifeblood.

Y'alls? I guess Texas is northern?

You think you can gauge loyalty of a person by how well he pledges? These people are kissing ass to impress you. We look at people who are already involved before they're interested in us. Also, "true" brotherhood comes from casual interactions with brothers, NOT from the race to be a superpledge.

Common sense. It's in our lifeblood.

You type faster than I do.

Looking at my keyboard, I'm suspecting it is a typo.

And there we have it.

I would have noticed if I typed my fraternity's name incorrectly. Looks like his traditions did him a world of good.

Maybe for you guys giving out a bid and putting up with bullshit gets you initiated, but that doesn't fly with my fraternity. If a pledge isn't learning the history, doing what's expected of him (attending events, etc...), or just pissing people off, we just vote him out of pledging.

My chapter has a very strong brotherhood, and it's not because we poured beer or threw crap on pledges. Additionally, hazing our pledges isn't worth potentially losing our charter.

ATO's colors are sky blue and gold. I don't know what the "GKE" reference is.
