I would like to get people's honest opinions on Hazing?

It looks like YOU were the first one to start talking shit :)

hazing is great! It allows for the brothers of a fraternity to become closer through causing another brother agony.... wait a minute... hmm...
yes it roxk! Dorm floors should institute these activities in order to bring halls closer together!

Chemten plays tennis! he doesn't take birth control

I could come prove to you I do not have a small dick, if that is in fact what you are focusing on....

Whoever started the thread was the fool. Why would anyone start a thread about something that nobody in their right mind would approve of, and entice discussion on the subject.

looking back at previous posts, please explain to me how I was the first one to prove anything? There is the thread started, then your post is second. By any logic, I'm the last one to do anything before your childish post.

I'm not exactly sure how you can equate anything with having small penii.

I've posted on this forum many times, and I'm pretty sure I only say anything about chemten 3 times. I know chemten, and I used to randomly say that stuff to him last year. As far as "starting shit" I would assume somebody so opposed to getting into rediculous arguments such as yourself would not be posting in the first place (especially the tripe you are posting..)

However, I'm sure you're fairly confident that you aren't arguing or "starting shit" by claiming someone has a small penii. As I stated, if it is an issue that you believe actually goes along with this argument, I can prove your logic is flawed.

Merry Christmas

what are you talking about?

the terrible secret of space. Who are you?

keep training, return in five years, and you may challenge me again.

Hazing is cool. Dorms would be cool too if they hazed..

I'm in a fraternity, and we absolutely do not haze. That is why I was asking because I think hazing is bullshit, and I just wanted to see what others thought. So stop saying we all do. If you want to talk about groups that haze look at the sports teams here in UMR. My freshman year the Softball team got caught hazing, but they are still all on the team. The Swimmers are known for hazing worse than anyone on campus, but no one ever mentions all this. Why is that? Oh wait, everyone bases their beliefs on what they see on TV with things like Animal House. We are not that.

its probably more statistically true that fraternities are a common place for hazing to occur.

Here are 2 definitions from dictionary.com on hazing, from different dictionaries:

haze2 Pronunciation Key (hz)
tr.v. hazed, haz·ing, haz·es
To persecute or harass with meaningless, difficult, or humiliating tasks.
To initiate, as into a college fraternity, by exacting humiliating performances from or playing rough practical jokes upon.

Haze Haze, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Hazed; p. pr. & vb. n. Hazing.] [Also haze.] [Cf. Sw. haza to hamstring, fr. has hough, OD. h[ae]ssen ham.] 1. To harass by exacting unnecessary, disagreeable, or difficult work.

2. To harass or annoy by playing abusive or shameful tricks upon; to humiliate by practical jokes; -- used esp. of college students; as, the sophomores hazed a freshman.

While 2 of 2 valid dictionary definitions would indicate that either this is a practice done soley by fraternities or that this is primarily done in fraternities there are obviously some cases such as yours that stereotypes do not hold true. I remember hearing a huge media hooplah a few years ago about military hazings for the SEALS (or marines?) or something of the sort.

I'd have to agree with you that hazing is bullshit.

I'm a sig pi and we don't haze at all. I'd love to know what exactly you guys are basing your assumetions of fraternity hazing on. I've talked honestly with members of other fraternities and almost all say the same thing to me, "It used to happen('60's and '70's), I guess, but we don't haze." If you have had a bad experience with a fraternity I'm sorry but don't lump us all together.
