from the Midwest
I'm a Sigma Pi from the Midwest and from what Mac is saying my chapter looks at pledgeing the same way he and his brothers do, you must earn your way in and some comical brokeback hazing sounds funny to me. Hell they weren't touched or hurt for that matter. If they didn't want to be there they could have up and left but they took it like good pledges should. If you think I'm being insensative, we currently have a gay brother in the Fraternity and he's just like one of us and jokes about other pledges being gay which, so don't even try and come at me with a homophobe comment either.
Unlike 80% of the chapters out there now we make our brothers earn there letter instead of giving them 3 weeks of edu. and handing them letters.

I love it when a bunch of fraternity bros start passing judgement on a school they've never been to. Makes me all tingly inside.

Too bad I own a small ranch out in Vermont because the winters are nice out there and as a result have made acquaintances with a few UVM kids. I'm not saying I got a full vibe of the school because I'd never want to.

What the hell part of VT did you go to where the winters are nice?

That was my thought. Summers maybe, but winters?

Perhaps "nice" in his estimation means "lots of snow to ski on."

The above is correct.
Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't snow much in Arkansas.

So, you are saying 52.4 of the 66 fraternities in the NIC only have 3 week pledge programs? Wow, I didn't realize it was that many.

I don't know anyone with a 3 week pledge program.

I actually know someone in the greek system at UVM (my best friend up there actually) so I can ask her rather than relying on newspapers, if there's any interest.
