Fraternal Appreciation
Fraternities are filled with secrets and hidden messages behind the foundation which the proud founders instilled upon its initial members of the organization. Hypothetically speaking, after the final initiation, which should be a testament to there loyalty to the fraternity. The new members are lacking the little detailed characteristics and fraternal appreciation, which they should’ve attained throughout their process. When was the last time somebody gave you something? Now when was the last time you EARNED something? You’re probably more than likely able to answer the second question with ease. Simply because of the formula, which implies that, people normally forget about the things which they were not forced to work for? Fraternal society loses sight and focus of why they joined and the focus of what the founders sought to teach. This profoundly true because there was no method of maintaining or conditioning this method of order of knowledge. However we can end that now with a conditioning device known as hazing.
Hazing is a considered illegal by some, but will provide that resistance and forced needed to maintain that sense of effort and stability. It is that sense of earning something which brings the real meaning behind the territorial value of the fraternity. That sense of holding something. This may include a fraternity trying to show the essence of brotherhood to a group of male applicants or a sorority emphasizing sisterhood to a group of ladies in a much difficult more reality based scenario so that the teaching given can touch base inside and the applicants are better enabled to apply this throughout.
Hazing is defined as the act of being made or convinced to do something immoral or out your character that will hurt you or belittle you as a man. That definition leaves many questions to interpretation. Is it hazing if/she doesn’t mind doing it? This should be the concern of the individual because afterwards you will have attained such an honor to where that privilege of membership will be imbedded inside of you forever.
