CHS Reporting d ® 279A-WF-222936-BEI (Pending), 07/02/2008 IVINS: IVINS: guys in it were great. If I hadn't lived off campus in an apartment with 3 other guys, I would have suicide pledged Sigma Nu. (A blindfold is NOT, NOT, NOT hazing! I've heard of Bachelorette parties where the participants "Pin the Macho on the Man." Is that hazing? No way. Silliness can be bonding. Working together for a common cause is’ bonding. I hope you didn't have to change your whole ritual so that blindfolds were totally forbidden during the formal ritual. I would think that when a pledge has her big sister (or whoever) take off her blindfold, it can be a breathtaking, beautiful experience. Besides, I didn't think that the burned pledges were blindfolded during the cigarette burning anyway. What about trust walks? What about pinatas on Cinco de Mayo? Can't some common sense be used? You know when - you're being whisked away early in the morning that you're going somewhere, you and the other pledges are feeling a bonding in the silliness, and you'll be rewarded with breakfast. Any time somebody wants to wake me up at 5:30 and take me to IHOP, I'm ready.) I dunno, by the time I was in school, hazing just wasn't done. I think probably because public schools didn't paddle anymore and physical punishment was frowned on - which means kids don't grow up with the b7D
