[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have had two kids in the greek system at UVA and yes there are fraternities which your kid can join and not be subjected to this type of hazing.  He was 100% fine with anything he did as was I as his parent. He was never forced to drink or eat anything nor in any type of life threatening situation.  And yes I do believe him. His chapter is especially dedicated to NOT hazing, which is why he chose it.

What you also have to know is that UVA is VERY strict about hazing.

PIKA is well known for hazing, as is Theta Chi. If you pledged there, you knew what you're getting into.  Not that it excuses it, but the kids know which houses will put them through hell and which won't.[/quote]

If it’s well known for hazing, why do kids choose this fraternity over other ones? [/quote]

They're top tier. If you get a bid to a top-tier frat, which most people who post in these threads didn't, you put up with 8-12 weeks of hazing in exchange for 3.5 years of god status on campus and endless mixers with the hottest sororities. Top-tier frats also plug you into an amazing professional network with tons of valuable connections for finance and consulting jobs after graduation. Short-term pain, long-term gain. And 99 times out of 100, the pain isn't really pain, just mild to moderate discomfort.[/quote]

Sort of explains why so many Wall Street finance and consultants are who they are.  They just grow up to continue their ways of life[/quote]
