<p>Hi, don't know much about the process of getting into a frat, just from watching Beta House, so I don't know much, lol.</p>
<p>What kind of stuff will they make you do? I'm sure its different at every school, but I'm just looking for a general idea. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Well every fraternity will tell you they don't haze. But as long as its not a cultural fraternity (they are notorious for hazing), it shouldn't be too bad. Your best bet would just be to ask around on campus because it does vary. Some of them will make you drink large amounts of alcohol, do a bunch of push ups, and things of that nature. Basically, you are the fraternity's ***** for that quarter/semester.</p>
<p>Some funny **** happened to a guy I know at school. One day if they saw him anywhere on campus they'd get him tanked at the bar, even if he had exams. Another time he couldn't sleep, eat, or drink for a few days. He had to sneak some water and **** into class to eat.</p>
<p>Depends on the fraternity. By me, it's the Asian fraternities/sororities that are especially cruel. Most universities have policies that make hazing illegal and well, at least, here for the most part, they follow those standards put into place by the university since their organization will be disbanded if it's found out.</p>
<p>Even if fraternities officially say they don't haze, they do. That includes pledges washing dishes, cleaning the frat house kitchen, and other stuff that you will find out if you pledge.</p>
<p>Hazing is necessary to build community. It's what makes people commit fully to a frat or sorority; so, you'll find that most such organizations will have some sort of hazing ritual...and, theoretically, the more intense the hazing ritual, the more you'll enjoy your time in the frat or sorority.</p>
<p>Apumic is wrong, and you should not listen to him. Abuse is not the foundation of any functional relationship, brotherhood included. There are some houses that do haze, and others that don't. Which they are will depend on the school. But it isn't something you should ever tolerate. </p>
<p>And I should be clear that the school definitions may be a bit misleading. Some schools ban houses from forcing students to wear pledge pins. I and most others would find that excessive. Certainly that isn't a reason not to pledge. But say expecting you to case race when you don't want to, or similarly dangerous and harmful activities, clear are.</p>
