Unfortunately hazing is something that still does occur within the Greek system. Even though every national fraternity has banned hazing some individual chapters have continued this barbaric and just plain stupid practice. It may make you wonder how much you can believe the promises some fraternities may make to you. In recent years several fraternities at around the country have been disciplined for forcing new members to endure hazing during their pledge ship. Hazing ranges from alcohol related, physical, emotional, and psychological torment as a condition for membership. You've never needed to undergo hazing to join any other organization in your life so don't believe that you have to start now. The Greek system began as a way to improve the lives of those who chose to join it, but sadly some fraternities have forgotten this important fact. The best defense against joining an organization that may haze its new members is to ask a lot of questions about what is required of you to be initiated. Find out how long the new member program will last, how much time will you be expected to commit, and has the chapter ever been charged for hazing. The more vague or shady the answers the more you should be concerned about how truthful they are being.
