[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Michigan fraternities: Hospitalizations buried this winter. Including sexual abuse, torture (involving rear and inanimate objects) and extreme cold conditions while intoxicated - chugging entire bottles of vodka and dropping kids 10 miles from campus with no cell phone or money and requiring them to make their way back. Several hospitalized in January. Michigan tolerates it openly.[/quote] Geeds love to publicize these isolated and extreme cases, but 99% of what people call hazing in frats is just good natured fun designed to break down walls and bring the pledge class together. Scavenger hunts, harmless pranks, and the like. You'll probably be subjected to a bit of embarrassment during pledgeship, but honestly, if you can't laugh at yourself, you probably don't belong in a frat.[/quote] Geeds? What is it with this frat talk? I went to college on my own - independent since age 17. The though of frats was unrealistic and laughable. A bunch of social posturing for not very tough kids. I did work in a Teamsters facility to make money in the summer. One rule applied as a college student lucky enough to get summer union wages- keep your mouth shut and work. I can only imagine what would have happened to a guy talking frat talk and "geeds" at the union shop. I would have initially laughed but the prospect of severe physical harm would have been present, so would have felt compelled to tell a clown like this to shut up and grow up. I was fortunate enough to work with an Amherst guy who came from modest roots (his father owned a struggling dry cleaning shop), and he "got it". We used to connect and non-verbally indicate it was time to shut up and work. Heck, even the Northern Illinois University third baseman who had a father who was a capo in the mob knew just to shut up, even if he was the highest on the social ladder of the summer guys. Again, I can only imagine what would have happened to a guy babbling about "geeds" would have fared. [/quote] Sorry you didn't get a bid, geed.[/quote]
