FAU to screen movie on hazing
But there’s one college tradition it hopes to do without: hazing.
On Wednesday, FAU will host a screening of the documentary, “HAZE,” as part of National Hazing Prevention Week.

Has no positive function…people go through hard enough times in Life that present wothwhile opportunites to bond around.
Would never judge someone elses loyalty to me by the fact that one of us took a "burned brand", "drank 20 beers out of the oven in 2 hours", or "were forced to go through a blinfolded escapade" at 2:00am with no clothes on…
No thanks!
If one is submissive to the above "torture", how desperate are they for the acceptance of another individual to validate who they are as a human being?
Prove yourself to me!
Uh, no.

Re: FAU to screen movie on hazing
I have a cousin who pledged a fraternity up at the University of Buffalo and he has told me stories on some of the crap they did to them. Putting extremely hot sauce all over their bodies and stuff like that.
I don't think anything like that happens at FAU. Like I said I can't speak for the other fraternities but when you're in a fraternity you hear stories and things about the other Greeks on campus and I never heard anything. That was also 11 years ago so maybe things changed
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Re: FAU to screen movie on hazing
My only experience with it was when I went to visit a friend at Rollins College. We went to the Def Leppard concert (Yes I dated myself) and back to a dorm room late (midnight or so) to chill after the concert. Being Drunk and hungry, the Frat member we were with (dont remember which Frat) called up his pledge, told him to get up, gave him our Subway order for 5 people and to go pick it up and get one for himself as well if he wanted. Once he got to the room, he invited the pledge in, gave him the money and asked him to join us for beer and the snack, which he did.
I remember thinking that was the type of person I would want to be involved with if I had been in a Frat.
Thats the kind of "hazing" I could see as just fine.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

I never pledged, (my school didnt have any frats) but my cousin wouldnt even talk to me about some of the stuff he did. He did say it wasnt bad but wouldnt talk about it. Belive he was a Sig Ep.

Yeah there was a lot of that, that went on. Hey pledge get me a beer, or hey pledges we got tickets to the panthers game all you guys are going. Really nothing too bad. I'm sure other Greeks on here can agree
