I will never understand that logic. That's like saying, "Well, if I'm going to be arrested for smoking pot, I might as well smoke some crack."

I think it's stupid too, but my chapter is completely non-hazing.

And...I would compare it more to zero tolerance policies at schools. Like...if you're going to get arrested for bringing a plastic knife to school to cut your sandwich, you might as well go ahead and bring the real one, right? Same punishment, even though the crime is different.
