How can I survive "hell week" in fraternity in college?

[Anonymous]

So I'm going to be pledging a fraternity in college and I know that they haze for sure but of course to stay out of trouble they all say that they are "non hazing" yeah bs to that lol. So during last few weeks of school comes hell week and I heard they will keep us locked up at the house with limited food and water and make us clean and do crazy stuff. It makes me kinda nervous. They will know our schedule so they will abduct us after class every day. Anything I can do to get ready for it?

Well, put granola bars in your pockets, or bring a backpack with emergency supplies. Consider bringing some pepper spray in case you need to defend yourself.

As said by others, don't do it. You don't need to fit into this group. Find another group that will respect you with out the need of humiliating you first.

Wait until you are in school and deal with it when it happens. do what feels right to you.

lol, just keep thinking that its for only a week. try to get as much schoolwork done ahead of time for that week as you can.

I dunno, I never felt the need to pay for friends in college, so I never had to deal with that low level bull sh*t.

That's a myth you're not paying for friends you're paying for international dues to headquarters which in turn lets me attend events go to formal with a girl and stuff. Plus it looks good on a resume.

And by "looks good on resume" He means you pick the frat for the field you are going into. Because your connections from collage is more important than the sh*tty piece of paper that does nothign for you in the long run. Your brother take care of you. And I mean all of them. And they tend to be in the positions to hire and advance So brothers get first dibs... I had a friend tell me I should have pledged. Its like specialized OJT

And in order for all what Rick said can happen...to create a 'bond' of 'brothers'...they all have gay sex, swap cum, drink piss etc etc...things no dignified person will do. They endure all of this together and end up becoming cum-buddies! They also get to date cheap ass skanks that have been with everyone in their surrounding areas

YOLO!~

why do you need to fit in so bad? Do you think these are good friends to put you through "hell"? Just my view..

[anon1111]

Never had any interest in doing the frat thing when I was in college so I have no idea.

Only do the things you can handle. Physically and mentally.

Mine wasn't horrible, but it's nothing I want to do again. As perkynipples said, I'd have as little work to do as possible so you don't fall behind.

Ugh, don't do it. So undignified.
