Here is a question for you guys. Why do you do it? Why is hazing so important to you that you will risk being kicked out and your chapter destroyed rather than not haze? You see stories like this over and over again and I still can't figure this out.

Interesting. I never looked at it that way. That is a very fair point.

Tradition. Also a bit of "We had to do it, so so do they."

ETA: I do not see anything that appears Earpish in this thread.
