>>10133008>what bizarre and fucked up stuff to you force new members to endure when you decide to allow them to join?Bows and toes, that's about it. There are some very specific rules for fucking with pledges - and this doesn't come from nationals, these our my own chapters' rules:
>No liquor hazing - everWhile I was pledging, a kid pledging Pikapp died after he got liquor hazed so we put an end to it full stop. We drink all the time, just never forced. The joke is "we liquor haze ourselves"
>No touchingNo physical harm essentially. That covers everything from bapping a pledge in the face to - as another anon made a point of - sticking your finger in someone's ass.
>No eatingSo like you can't force a kid to eat some gross shit, that used to be pretty common
>Punishments should make them betterSo for example push ups, wallsits, bows and toes, shit like that.
That's about it. Outside of that, the real test of being a pledge is being ready at a moments notice 24/7 to get your entire PC to the house at any time of day or night. It's supposed to be "the best thing you never want to do again," if that makes sense.
