Wow.

You got it. My chapter is a part of the "Bloody Triangle". Greeks pledge the traditional way there. I'm not sure how things are done now but back then it wasn't only hard to get picked but once you were picked, it was that much harder to make it through the pledge process. When I went to the interest meeting for the 1st time there were so many interests, that they had to use two rooms. Only 8 of us got picked to pledge, two dropped out, and 6 of us made it. 16 weeks of pledging. One guy quit 2 weeks before we were initiated into the fraternity. We started pledging on Jan 7th. and were initiated Apr 8th @ 2:26 am.

After watching the evening news and listening to our White House and nom for AG tell us what is and what isn't legal when it comes to getting results, and they are saying its ok so why can't we do it????

"Mr. head of discipline committee we weren't Hazing our pledges. I swear!! We were just submitting them to sleep deprivation, and water boarding. There cant be anything wrong with that. The President says so. "

Its either really smart, or really stupid. Either way its creative.

You're comparing the interrogation of terrorists to the membership process of a fraternity.

You're either trying to be facetious or you haven't thought this one through well at all.
