[quote=joedazh]it has nothing to do in your life.. that's all i can say! [/quote] That's your own opinion and you're entitled to it. Fact is, it's not the other people/groups who make your life. It is you who make it. I'm a member of a sorority for 8 years now. I just want here to explain especially those bad impression of the "hazing" most of the people talked about. Hazing is part of a fraternity/sorority. Now for those who said that hazing is bad and fraternity kill people. Those were accidents. As a part of a sorority/fraternity, each member should held responsible to what he's doing. Hazing is a sacred part of frat/sor. There are two kinds of hazing. The Intelllectual and Physical. Physical hazing is to test how deep can you think beyond a normal person's thinking. How well can you handle unexpected situations without harming yourself and others. Part of Intellectual Hazing is your school grades.Take not of it, You will not be able to enter even as pedgee in a frat/sor if you are not enrolled in a school/university (college to be specific), and you will not survive if you have failing marks in your grades wile in a pledgeeship. As for the Physical Hazing (there is anti-hazing law now), it is to test your body how strong it is. Hazing is more of a "ritual" as frat/sor men/women call it. The mere fact that hazing is not only in fraternities/sororities. It is done also i military trainings. And soldiers are heroes right.It has purpose. They will test your determination to survive. For instances like while in your pledgeeship,you skip a subject, since the soro/frat don't want to be held responsible for your failing marks, you need to pass your grade, now what will you're master/lady will have to do with you that you skip class?Now don't ecpect your master/ladies to just give you a tap on the back just because you skipped class fro the reason of pledgeeship period .So you might be asking why your being hit or something? hazing in general?,that's the unrevealed mystery of a fraternity/sorority. Discover the mystery. Our Soro along with our fraternal brothers, has always been organizing medical missions along with our brothers and sisters in meds. Helping needy people. And very active in curricular activities in shool (when resident). I don't want to tackle any debate here. I just wanted to share how grateful I am that I became a member of one of the prestigious sorority/fraternity in the world. And your pledgeeship don't just end in your survival period. As the famous line of frat/soro men said, "the real initiation starts when you are already in the group", of course you will not be able to experience the pledgeeship but you are will more cautious as a member. You will be more responsible of your acts for your acts will reflect to the group. If you have done something bad, the group will be look bad to others, and vise versa. You have the to handle such responsibility because Fraternity/Sorority is a lifetime membership. Your responsibily doesn't just end in your pledgeeship but in fact it start when you're a member. Fraternity/Sorority don't force people to join. It's us who join. What do I got from entering a sorority and got beaten or something? It's the brotherhood and sisterhood. I came to have many brothers and sisters around the world. And how could I forget the pledgeeship period?Some lessons in life are learned through pain. That's what I got and I'm proud of it. Kudos to Beta Sigma Frat and Sigma Beta Sorority! and Kudos to All Sororities and Fraternities!
