I never feared life or limb when i pledged.
"Remember you facing just what other men have met"
The military takes a certain level of "dedication" and has its methods of "testing".
So does my Frat.
Some choose to "walk the walk" , others dont.
Thats cool with me.
Every one has their limits ( including me).
Case in point. Has anyone ever heard of the masonic (Scottish Rite, Prince Hall, Eastern Star) term "riding the goat"? (?beastiality?) . I am not a Mason but i have heard Masons refer to it. I definitely wouldnt want to go there. But interesting enough, all but two of our past presidents were Masons. Interesting. Was/Is "riding the goat" an ancient ritual. We all have limits dont we? What other "hazing" takes place in Masonic ceromonies?
Every organization (Masonic, Military, Relgious, Fraternal) has its "ritual" requirements.
