Well, I guess I compare it to someone working for a company for so many years and finally working his/her way up the ladder, and then all of the sudden somone starts working there and comes into the company at the same level as the person who worked so hard to get at that level. That would annoy me. I don't think it makes anyone weak. My opinion though.

Yes, you do have a right to have an opinion. I see that you seem to be rather new to GC ( Welcome ). As I suggested earlier in this thread, it may be a good idea to review some of the other threads in this forum.

Most of us like to abide by the strict no-hazing policy set forth by our respective HQs.

Thanks. I read some of the other post and I respect other opinions but again, I just think its unfair that people now can just walk in without earning anything. I just don't think anything great should be free. How can someone appreciate something they haven't worked for? It blows me away to see members of other organizations walk around wearing letters as if they worked so hard for it. All they did was receive an acceptance letter, learned some history, signed their names and walla they're in. The killer part about it is they don't even know the members they pledged with. When I say know, they know nothing about each other. That's sad to me. Again my opinon.

So far I've never had that experience, and I hope I never do. The chapters that I've been to still practice the traditional and right way of pledging, although I have seen other greek letter organizations that don't haze and I'm not even in those organizations and it still bothers me that new members skated in. I definitely agree with you and couldn't agree with you more. I remember I went out with this girl in XYZ sorority who wasn't made the right way, and some of the things she was telling me, I thought to myself, how can she be proud to wear letters representing a sorority this old with a ton of respect and didn't do nothing to earn it. At the time I had a paddle hanging on my wall and she thought it was a cool decoration. I told her that's hanging there because it had been USED several times! To me her pledge period is so unacceptable it's insane.

really?

i believe that it is completely impossible to NOT haze (considering the VERY broad definition of hazing)

i believe that i was barely hazed. i mean, i was referred to as a pledge, and not as a new member.

i was never paddled, awakened at some late hour of the night, forced to drink anything...basically i was never even remotely harmed in any way whatsoever.

i've seen some pretty bad hazing in my day, and it really breaks my heart.

Are you in a sorority?

I don't know of any fraternity which forbids the use of the word 'pledge.'

Jeff said he was referred to as a pledge and NOT a new member.

Don't know of any fraternities that forbid the word pledge (like the NPC sororities who use it as a verb and not a noun)...but don't some have other names for their pledges? Such as, say, associate members?

I believe NPHC fraternities more or less do.

I know of really crazy hazing stories too, and some of it is depressing, but I still think it's necessary. I mean if you really want to appreciate and love your organization.

You were never paddled? Be glad you weren't. LOL.
