Hazing. Is it necessary?
O.K. Who pledged old skool and who pledged new skool. In other words did you get hazed? Also how long was your pledge period? Last but not least do you think hazing is necessary?

I am definitely old school.
I was hazed.
It is NOT necessary.
It's also not smart.
It is illegal.

It IS necessary....you are obviously not old school......it depends on what is being done. I'm not talking about beating pledges and forcing them to drink and such. This however....has been beat to death in the other forum....so I don't really care.

It's real likely that I've been around the Greek System since before your were born and seen it change a lot over those years.
I've also seen the damage that hazing can do first hand as an advisor and Division officer.
I've watched us try to self-destruct, and local and state governments and university administrations step into the process.
Due to the above, I've seen national organizations have to be reactive and then proactive.
In a few years, let's take a look back and see what happened.

I'm old skool, in fact my line did the whole above ground Scroller marching, bald heads, shades, hoodies and Scroller gear. In fact I still have one of my Scroller white t-shirts. It's in bad shape but I still have it. It says Scroller in red letters. Most of it was done underground though. I loved marching above ground b/c of the crowd of people it drew, and it was something I always wanted to do. We never got caught because with the following line everything was done underground.
We pledged for 16 weeks. I'm still very close to my 5 Sands, and we still talk and see each other when we can. I was fortunate to have a close line. I do think the hard pledging forced us to be close.
I don't really agree with the hard core hazing, though it happend to me. I agree with the man of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. I think it should be light weight. I don't think someone should skate in either though.
Last but not least, though I don't think the body should be abused, what the six of us went through has really made me love my frat dearly. I've been greek for 15 years now and I appreciate it and love it like I just made it over yesterday. I think that if I didn't work for it, I probably wouldn't appreciate it as much as I do today. Kappa Alpha Psi til the day I die.
Abusing the body is wrong. I endured what I did, because I don't believe in quitting any goals I start.
I think everyone made some very valid points.

For the most part I have no idea what the above person said...but I'm sure it made sense to some.
Regardless, I'll confirm on the Sigma Nu thing, they are very good at Auburn.

Oh. You must be outside of the Divine 9. I guess it wouldn't make sense to you. What organization are you a member of?
