Wow, that is real crazy. They should ban all frats and sororities. These stories happen too frequently [/quote]

I get that most pledges literally survive the ordeal, but it's just so toxic and gross. You see why they're so secretive about everything. I'm sure that there are many fraternities that don't push the limits like the degradation described in the article, but it's probably hard as an outsider to distinguish and avoid the ones that do.[/quote]

Yes, how would you know? Hopefully the kids interested can find out which fraternities aren’t degrading to their pledges.[/quote]

Join a “low-ranked” fraternity for less hazing, ie hazing that means picking up lunch for someone or having to clean up after a party. I have two kids in LR fraternities. One rarely drinks. One who does like beer said that fraternities won’t tell you don’t have to drink if asked, but both have said they haven’t drank at certain pledge events and it was no biggie. You just have to believe that it won’t affect your bid. It helps that they’re both inclined, or have the confidence, to not go along with groups. [/quote]
