I just wish I understood why anyone puts up with arbitrary humiliation. I guess it's just peer pressure combined with teasing, escalated until it gets...well, really strange.

Fraternity and sorority hazing rituals are, in my mind, proof that we are perhaps the worst mistake nature ever made.

10 lines on that... wow.

your sphincter, but for some reason, the general "you" just didn't seem to fit there in that sentence...

I wonder if schools have cracked down on this more in recent years, if people stopped doing it because they realized it was just a perpetual cycle, if they ran out of ideas, or if it was always just a little overblown...

I want to say "thank God" but actually it's probably just as bad.

If you're stupid and/or lonely enough to volunteer to be abused so you can be friends with some cruel dumbass drunks . . . well, I'd say something mean, but you're stupid and/or lonely enough to volunteer to be abused so you can be friends with some cruel dumbass drunks so how much worse could I make it?

Hazing at my school for the most part involves that the pledges pick up and drive any of the frats/sororities (aka as sorostitutes on my campus) whenever they get drunk (so long as you're not in class, but you classes should all be in the morning anyways). Additionally you always have to be wearing certain types of clothing (khakis, polo shirt, and on hell week, a tie).

EDIT: I just saw my suitemate walk in for the first time in over a week. He's pledging. And this isn't even all that uncommon to not see him for a week or more. Hell, I didn't really see him or the first time till about my third week of school.

I have never experienced or heard any stories of hazing where I live. I dunno, maybe it's just Massachusetts?

Damn... seriously guys, sometimes frat culture can scary me a little bit. Even though most of these are "i heard from someone somwhere" (which could mean these are just Hazing Urban Legends) i've personally see some really dumb stuff (no less than a couple who resulted in death), but nowaday some of the "Newbie hazings" i heard of usually are variations of

"Go door-in-door singing Christmas songs, and asking for clothing, food and toys. Then, donate them."

or

"Ask for money on trafic lights, half go as donation, half go to buy beer for the veterans"

Are you sure he's real and that you're not schizophrenic like John Nash? His roommate ended up being a figment of his imagination. :P
