wow....this is...ridiculous........first of all...there is no higher reason...as to why you would strip a pledge and throw cold water on him..that doesn't build brotherly bonds...


second of all..the chances of this person dying because of some cold water...are slim to none......


...if he didn't want to be in that situation...he shouldn't have been there.....

this is why, in my opinion......hazing.....shouldn't be a legal issue at all

but rather one of common sense.....

when someone says hey...strip down and let me throw water on you.... unless i'm some kind of brain dead zombie who can't think for himself....then i'm gonna have to say no.....

if the activity...is still viewed as hazing..by some..but has a higher..purpose......i'm more likely to stay..but even then..i have the option to leave



people always say well they FORCE pledges to do this

they don't FORCE pledges to do a damn thing.......its a request...and at any time...that person has the right to say...no?


soooo ridiculous?

Just wondering, as you said in an earlier email, you have a fraternity consisting of 3 members. Your signature says:

Phi Delta Sigma Vice Presedent
Fall '08
Tgtbmamittob


Have you pledged/been a member of an incoming class? Are you an active with an existing pledge/new member class? Are you a pledge?

I just want to have an idea of where you are coming from when I read your posts. Your title and time frame is confusing me, as are your postings, when from what I read, you aren't a typical operating chapter (at a capacity of an executive board, in the very least).

Perhaps if people better stood your situation, they could better be able to respond to your posts. At the moment, they are kind of jibberish.
