I'll copy/paste my quote from the other thread here because I thought we were starting a new one.
Quote:
No one will ever convince the other person they are right.. so let me ask you this:
What if I want to join an organization that, BY DEFINITION, hazes? What if I *believe* going though technically hazing events will make me be a closer brother? I'm not arguing IF it does or does not, I'm saying what if that is what I want?
My point is that there are hundreds of different organizations across the country. Some are social, some are philanthropic, some are ethnic. We should are be urged to join the org that fits us best.
I feel we are trying to sell Christianity to a Muslim here. It isn't going to work. Instead can we maybe focus on the fact that people go through all of this because it is for them? Women join Sororities for different reasons then guys join Fraternities. Some guys join a particular org for DRASTICALLY different reasons then others join OTHER orgs.
Why is it that the orgs that are SO horrible for hazing, being abusive, etc etc never criticize the 'good' organizations for what they believe in? Why can't everyone be proud of their beliefs/decisions and respect the beliefs/decisions of other people?

***BTW please don't respond with the typical 'Our org's actions will represent your org's actions. Anyone who is going to lump all Greeks into one pile will never respect you anyways. It is the same as all the OTHER discriminatory prejudices out there.
