-- Posted by iBritt at 4:19 pm on July 27, 2008 Is pledging really as awful and shameful as it's portrayed to be in the media? I've always wondered that. Not that I'm thinking about joining one or anything -- Posted by FurryPanther at 4:22 pm on July 27, 2008 Hazing is actually against the rules now, so not really. FP -- Posted by Latin Muscle at 4:22 pm on July 27, 2008 Not at all -- Posted by greatescape at 4:23 pm on July 27, 2008 Quote: from FurryPanther at 6:22 pm on July 27, 2008 Hazing is actually against the rules now, so not really.

Depends where you go. -- Posted by FurryPanther at 4:25 pm on July 27, 2008 Quote: from greatescape11 at 5:23 pm on July 27, 2008 Quote: from FurryPanther at 6:22 pm on July 27, 2008 Hazing is actually against the rules now, so not really.    FP As if that stops it...   Depends where you go. Well, it does minimize it, at the least. FP -- Posted by xidontcarex at 4:27 pm on July 27, 2008 Nah, I don't think so anymore. It didn't sound too bad from what my sister said, but I don't know myself. -- Posted by Themakingofagod at 4:30 pm on July 27, 2008 Well, for my friends initiation, they got him and 2 other joining members overly drunk, took them in the back of a jeep and went Baja-ing.  They made them look at the ground the whole time and would slam on the brakes every now and then and make them chug 2 beers then do it again.  The final scare was a ledge that was a drop off of about 4 feet, and at the last second they were told to look, and all they saw was the jeep going over off the side of the trail to scare the hell out of them. -- Posted by iBritt at 4:32 pm on July 27, 2008 Quote: from Themakingofagod at 7:30 pm on July 27, 2008 Well, for my friends initiation, they got him and 2 other joining members overly drunk, took them in the back of a jeep and went Baja-ing.

That would be hazing, and should have been reported. -- Posted by RachLeigh13 at 11:39 am on Aug. 4, 2008 I'm in a Christian sorority, it's not rough at all by any means. It's meant to be a bonding experience, and it is. :) And as others have mentioned, hazing is against rules. -- Posted by EmilyAnn at 12:04 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 Quote: from TigressaLynnMae at 6:45 pm on July 27, 2008 Quote: from Themakingofagod at 7:30 pm on July 27, 2008 Well, for my friends initiation, they got him and 2 other joining members overly drunk, took them in the back of a jeep and went Baja-ing.

I would refuse that sort of treatment, then report them for even attempting. Assholes. -- Posted by Ladybird at 11:53 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 they can be. my boyfriend had some horror strories. it wasn't his faternity nesserarly, they had him steal stuff, tresspas, but his sister sority was AWFUL. Sounded like they beat them up.... so no doubt their still out there. -- Posted by Sins and Demons at 8:14 am on Oct. 20, 2008 I know some people with stories some were bad some were terrible others were enjoyable. Usually though there seems to be something unpleasent. As for the hazing thing who cares if its illegal thats dumb to think making it illegal will do anything. When it comes down to it and you are hazed that means you want to be in so bad you are not going to tell. So unless something goes wrong it would be pretty quite and no one would know -- Posted by PrintingFreak at 10:31 pm on Oct. 20, 2008 but to look at it on the other side, (having never pledged i can only assume) Isnt the whole frat experience about fitting in and bonds that are formed between your brothers, or sisters. Most of the forms of initiation are traditions. When your pledging, people don't really want to be viewed as the wuss or wimp of the group. because what frat wants a wimp? and reporting the traditions is just asking for more trouble. and besides when you get it you'll be making the new pledges do the same exact things you had to do. -- Posted by iboy123 at 1:41 pm on Oct. 23, 2008 no comment -- Posted by smartlake at 10:52 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 Some places do haze, but mostly in the South.
