[QUOTE="Pugboy, post: 2907676, member: 124786"] I was in a fraternity at my school, and it wasn't as bad as people think. Did they yell at me during pledging and tell me to do stupid stuff? Yes. Did I do the stupid stuff, sometimes. If they ever told me to do something that I felt hurt me as an individual, an athlete, or a human being, I replied with a hearty "F Off". What are they going to do, hold a gun to your head?? No, they want you there and they want you to complete the process or you wouldn't be accepted as a pledge. As a member, did I harass the pledges? No. Did I let them in on some little secrets to make their pledging more tolerable? Yes. And you know what, they all respected me for respecting them. So a blanket statement calling all frat members douchebags, is a bit over reaching. I think the level of douche runs consistent throughout all levels of college student. [/QUOTE]
