This is a perfect example of why I hate the college Greek system.

Most fraternities are the soft drink equivalent to diet coke. It's just a meaningless power trip with nothing to show for it.

How do you treat 'welts and bruises'?

Anyway, I think the Greek setup it awsome; it provides a place for those that think they come from wealth and power a place to hang out.

And shoot each other with Red Riders.

Yeah, that ain't ****. A family friend of mine fell off a 3 story roof during a pledge ritual at Chico State. He landed on his head and never fully recovered. It took him a year to learn to speak after he came out of the coma. Now he works as a stockboy at Wal-Mart. His BAC was over .24 (or .024? whichever is the way it's supposed to be measured. 3x the legal limit).

BB guns are a dumb thing to get upset over.

Ooooooh...how could I forget that one...especially the one I went through at Ft Benning; there was a power pole ~20ft out the exit door.

Ummmm, huh?

Ok, on the spectrum of brain damage vs. a bb gun, I'll pick the bb gun, but....

That is my idea of pure humor.

Fortunately, when I went through Basic and my quick 2 weeks 'on the trail', I never saw anyone stumble into the pole.

:rotfl: Good point!

...although, I recall one of my DS going through it with us.

8 times.

With no mask.

...so I dunno how much of a 'hazing' it really was considering his performance. Oh, and at Ft. Leonard Wood, our CS chamber was on top of a hill, with a 30 foot near-vertical slope about 30 yards away. The only thing keeping us from wandering out there was the equivalent of Magic Safety Tape.

I've been shot with BB guns repeatedly before. Of course, I had one to shoot back with, so maybe my experience was different.

Frats are nearly as bad as organized religion. They tend to kill less people though.

Great Analogy!

I'll keep the idea of hazing and forced hydration in mind if I ever go see a baptism. :wow:

^^^^HAHA I think I saw some priests doing a forced ruck march the other day with some alter boys. They were making some run in gas masks. The Pope really needs to do something about this.
