Hazing is such a stupid practice. Why the fuck anyone participates in this inane activity is beyond me.

I have no sympathy for those responsible for the act and even less for the OP's percieved plight of wussification.

Never played any sports or joined a fraternity(in your case, sorority) did you?

You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.
 
You know what the wussification of America really is?

The fact that these girls allowed this to happen. If anyone tried this type of crap on me when I played high school sports I would simply beat the shit out of them.

I don't get hazing. Why do you need to "prove" yourself to join something. Your contributions to the organization should be more important then having to do dumb things to get it.

That's what a job interview is (somewhat). Some great people don't get past the interview stage for whatever reason and some lazy dumba*ses do.

C'est la vie.

I remember back in the days that hazing involved surviving a beat down from +5 members of the organization.

That's not hazing. That's called getting jumped in. Hazing is all about public humiliation.....and both are incredibly fucking stupid.

Besides, hazing is pretty much universally against all schools' policies. Everyone knows it and they got busted. Deal with it.

i thought it was fun. sometimes someone would end up with huge welts on their backs/stomach/thighs. but nowadays its limited to birthdays and small parties.

its funny how people who watch too many movies or play too many video games think they can fight. your "duck n punch" only sounds good in your head.
 
I was never hazed but hated seeing it and usually defend hazee by my jock colleagues. No reason to push your weight around just because guys a dork or whatnot, uncool. That's really the pussification, the majority not standing for what's right.

I guess you're a better girl than they were.
 
Hazing is total crap. The only reason people wanna do it is because they are total assholes or because they had it done to them.

I wrestled HW In HS, Ran 100/200m & 400/800 relay in track, and played fullback and outside line backer started both ways. Never had a problem. Pledging is voluntary so I'm not sure relevance.

My comments were meant for Jules. And after Pledging, never heard of Initiation?

Its all dumb jocks. Just look at how rookie Bryant of the Cowboys refused to carry the pads of a an elder teammate. I said kudos to that until he eventually gave in and carried a whole bunch of pads and even paid for some crazy $50K dinner tab.

Serves those retards right that they're 1-7.
