I was in a fraternity 30 years ago. If ANYONE had been caught hazing a pledge or circulating something like this our national would have been on us like white on rice and we would have been booted out of the national frat posthaste.

Our "punishment" during pledge week was that we had to sleep in sleeping bags in the downstairs TV room all week. The only thing even uncomfortable about it other than sleeping on the floor was the occasional smell of some of the pledge brothers.
