@RayWilliamJohansen … @RayWilliamJohansen It’s a completely different topic. When I went to Ranger school they beat us down physically, mentally, and emotionally, but it was in a controlled environment, and it was for a reason. It’s designed to teach you how to deal with the riggers of combat. Fraternity hazing has no real merit behind it. It’s purely entertainment, nothing more, nothing less. “It’s meant to build a bond between brothers” – B.S.
@brokenglass … @brokenglass Actually you can. Everyone doesn’t handle stress the same. Many times bad habits are formed due to stress. We always say well this or that is a problem in America, but we hardly ever ask why. “Why” is even more of a rarity when the question is being asked in reference to how the system is in general. America basically says this is the system, deal with it and lets demonize those who can’t deal with it. I say lets scrutinize the system working from the top down and see what happens.
I rushed a few … I rushed a few times (never decided to go through with it) & I can tell u it isn’t true what they say about them beating u up & paddling u & shit. They do verbally make fun of u, make u clean shit, etc…but a lot of times they embarrass themselves more than u lol. One frat guy told me to clean his bathroom (which was when I decided not 2 join) so instead I got on his comp and found bi-sexual porn…HONEST TO GOD NO JOKE! I confronted him and he NEVER told me to do anything again haha

why doesnt anyone … why doesnt anyone haze with paddles anymore? SERIOUSLY!!!! whack a freshman a few times then hang out with them….. NO REAL HARM DONE!!!
I hate how people … I hate how people never address the underlying problems. There’s a substance abuse problem on college campuses he says. Well I wonder why… Could student loan hassles be a part of it? Or maybe overwhelming class schedules due to lack of professors? Or inadequate advisement leading to more than a 4 year stent in college? Lots stressful situations in college, and very few avenues to evaluate them. Lets just blame the students I guess…
I was in a … I was in a fraternity in college, and it was one of the best things I ever did. As far as hazing goes, it really depends what it is and why it’s being done. Dumping booze down a pledge’s throat or doing homo-erotic doesn’t build character or make a positive impact in any way. It’s stupid. There certainly are ways to do things which are considered hazing without being embarrassing or dangerous. What the Freemasons do would be considered hazing.
This is not a greek … This is not a greek life problem, its an American society problem. While “alcohol hazing” is certainly dangerous and should never be used, young people die all the time from alcohol abuse and only a small percentage do so in a greek environment. The fact that this country has a drinking problem is just placed on the only organized group that people can associate it with and put plame on – the Greek community.
what the is … what the is this shit. hazing? sounds like a dog turd, i would shoot a mother that says i have to do some homo lol wait i dont have a gun, so id have to bash them to death haha
I was hazed and the … I was hazed and the best part about it is that we got to haze the upperclassman. people are just dumb and dont know their limits. you can say no or just tell your upperclassman that youre pushing your limits and cant drink anymore. simple as that.
video provides good … video provides good info on alcohol. no one should haze using alcohol. but this has nothing at all to do with fraternities that dont haze using alcohol. to relate it to fraternities in general is absurd
I am in a sorority … I am in a sorority and I am not a typical stereotypical sorority girl, Im full native american and I’m not a rich kid. In our greek community we have no tolerance for hazing. This video puts the blame on fraternities and sororities, when this isnt the only time people are hazed or die from alcoholism. I am 100 percent against hazing but this isnt a correct video about the greek community. Hazing happens in other student organizations also.
hey i totally dont … hey i totally dont agree with hazing but this video is completely bias i mean if u analyze this video ppl get drunk at parties whether is frat related or not…. i mean you can blame everything on frats and soro if most of this video is about alcoholism. People should jux take responsibility for their own actions and not go around blaming and stereotyping a curtain groups.
again im totally against hazing but this video is jux bias
