<p>After reading thrpugh this forum I have seen bot sides of the argument as a greek my self I do have a few opinions. First, pledging should be easy, I m not saying there should be elephant walks or forced drinking, but a franternity should not be something you just do, brotherhood should be earned. I have seen a frat on my campus that honestly doesnt have pledging, and they have fallen the last few years as many brothers move out and arent connected to everyone. Second, the networking is well worth a little sleep deprivation or memorization, think about it if you get not a only a letter of recommendation from a professor or two but brother who works at the company who can personally talk to his superiors about you, you have a great impression made without an interview.</p>
