As a fraternity man from UGA, it is disappointing when I see fraternity’s give their pledges alcohol. Pledging is not supposed to consist of alcohol, it’s should to be HELL for those kids and feeding them alcohol is bullshit (for any fraternity anywhere). We are not west coast fraternity’s, we are not northern fraternity’s, we are the real fucking deal. Stop feeding the pledges alcohol and make them hold the god damn wall instead.
Jesus, man. You suck and I would hate to be in your house. And this is coming from someone whose chapter is about as Southern as it gets. I have nothing against making them hold the wall, but Bourbon Cowboy hit the nail right on the head.
I have to disagree with you, DixonCider. As mentioned above me, it will be hard to get members if they know they have to sacrifice basically an entire semester without drinking. I do know where your anger is coming from though. When I was a pledge the seniors in my house (who design the pledgeship rules and schedule) had a “no vices” rule during hell week so no drinking, no tobacco, no study drugs, no weed, etc. It sucked balls so when the seniors the next 2 years let the pledges drink, it pissed me off because that’s not how we were treated. However, you have to accept that other houses and even future classes in your own house have different ways to haze the pledges, and what happened to during your pledgeship isn’t the universal standard.
Man, it’s not the sober pledgeship that’s the issue though. If your house is halfway decent they would still put up with the soberness in order to become a brother. During pledgeship we had one day a week on which we were allowed to drink, and it wouldn’t even be all of us because of course the beeper pledges had to stay sober to drive. That was the purpose of it, for us to make the decision to either booze without some of our pledge brothers or stay sober as one pledge class. You can probably guess which one was the correct choice.
See, and we weren’t even being fed alcohol there. That’s just the surface of what you can do with some good old all-American hazing fuel.
As for hell week, not sure how folks are doing it these days, but ours was during Christmas break right after New Years so as not to interfere with school. When you speak when they tell you to speak, wear what they give you to wear, eat what and when they allow you to eat, and get zero sleep on top of it all, let’s just say that booze, tobacco, adderall, and weed are about the farthest things from your minds.
