<strong>Subject:</strong><br />is pledging neccessary?<br /><br /> Poster Message:
So I have been interested in rushing a fraternity for a while now, and I was looking through this website to see what's out there, and pretty much I wanted someone to explain to me why pledging is so necessary? I am not very familiar with ZBT, but I know they don't have any pledging and are still a functional fraternity. It just seems ridiculous to have to do this process where you are demeaned, and then accept these people as brothers? Could someone explain to me why pledging is necessary to brotherhood?
