Your point is valid. Also, you must understand that we were exposed to the greek system in two completely different enviroments. Hazing at The University of Texas, and schools in the South for that matter, involves a lot of tradition. We were tested on history and trivia involving our fraternity. You must understand that hazing isn't constant beatings and verbal abuse, but rather participatiing in activities that may not be voluntary. We never took it seriously, in fact, we would return to our dorms after an early morning rally and laugh about the events that had taken place. Those are some of my fondest memories. Of course, some of our hazing involved manditory study hours Sunday through Wed. for three hours a night. It is all about sharing a unique experience with a group of guys that you have not shared with any other friends. By the way, what school did you attend?
