By informing your HQ, you're showing yourself to be a more loyal member than anyone directly violating their HQ's edicts are. As we always sway, our organizations are for life, not just for college. Why should you allow yourself to be robbed of this lifetime experience because some people were violating the rules and you called them on it?

That's hardly "bullying" your way in. That's showing that you have what it takes to make tough choices and then being accepted by an organization which should be grateful to have such a dedicated and loyal member -- someone who is willing to put what is right above what is convenient. The organization is lucky to have such a person.

If someone attempted to haze me, I'd snitch the crap out of them - but then I'd walk away. I wouldnt want to be in an organization that condones hazing

But that's the thing. No organization condones hazing. That chapters do it against their national policy is unfortunate. If the organization takes swift action and deals with those who were hazing, how could you possibly maintain that the organization supports or condones hazing?

But from the sounds of it, this person snitched and then managed to be initiated anyway, even though nobody liked him. I would have been different if he snitched, and got respected and they still wanted him to Initiate.

No one respects someone who turns them into the authorities for breaking the law. Who in that equation has the moral high ground though?

Of course - that's not the impression I got from the story. I got the impression that this person bullied their way into being initiated.

You say "bullied," I say "did the right thing."
