Prohazing

Received 12/9/98

I think your page is a digusting example of whats wrong with society today.  I am a rat at The Virginia Military Institute.  What you call "hazing" is somthing I deal with everyday, i.e. push-ups, demoralizing treatment, what ever.  I can not only see the positive benefits of hazing, but believe whole-heartedly that no member of a group such as a frat. or corps in my case can be woth anything until he has proved his intestinal fortitude to the rest of the group.  Until you have yourself experienced "hazing", I think you should keep your opinions to yourself.  I know what it is, and I am a better person because of it!
