[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]

That old stereotype about long term benefits, right.  And if you consider white girls who bleach their hair unnatural shades of yellow and are willing to degrade themselves for attention hot then that’s the place to be.   [/quote]

It's not a stereotype. Compared to the general population, the percentage of CEOs, one-percenters, and even U.S. presidents who are fraternity men is exceptionally high. And if you actually spent time in a top-tier fraternity house pulling, you'd know that the teen movie trope where all sorority dimez are bleached blond bimbos is totally false.[/quote]
