<p>Just curious about the level of hazing that goes on here if you rushed a fraternity.</p>
<p>A lot.</p>
<p>But if you ask straight up, they will tell you none.</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>How much is ‘a lot’ of hazing, cause I had some friends in UCSD tell me over the summer that 1/3 of them got arrested during Hazing. Not my idea of the best way to start college.</p>
<p>I was in the fraternity system, but graduated last year, so I don’t know how current my information is… but I would say not a lot. IFC (the organization that manages the fraternity system) has been maintaining a fairly tight grip on the system the last few years (many of my friends have removed the options to show tagged photos on their Facebook accounts because IFC representatives have been known to look through Facebook to look for violations, for example…). </p>
<p>Ever since the incident with FIJI a few years back (you can look up the articles on Daily Nexus), I think most fraternities have toned down hazing. Obviously it will still exist in a certain dimension but remember that you can always drop out of a fraternity as a pledge if you don’t feel comfortable with their pledge programs.</p>
<p>My only knowledge of hazing comes from my roommate:</p>
<p>+he was always out and running doing stuff late at night
+one week he was starved
+IFC almost caught them, and the police was almost involved</p>
<p>but most frat boys will tell you it’s worth it…weird.</p>
<p>any idea of what it usually consists of?</p>
<p>pft hard to say</p>
<p>although one time he asked me for a condom, said he has to carry one.
oh, and i can tell you it involves A LOT of drinking. he came back to the room drunk plenty of times. often, threw up in the restroom often.</p>
<p>also, the hazing only occurs for the pledge quarter.
after that, you pretty much coast and only go to the parties/meetings you want.</p>
