<p>Ok, great, so you’re close to your team. What are your honest thoughts about your Drill Sargent?</p>
<p>In the military, the need for hazing is to break you down as a civilian and then build you back up as a soldier. Since it’s large, it doesn’t matter that you have contempt for your drill sargeant. You’ll probably never see him again.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, this kind of schism between pledge classes can drive a fraternity apart. And, in a comfortable scholastic environment, there is no need to break someone down. You’re either mostly suited at the start, or you don’t get a bid.</p>
<p>But yeah, in terms of the pledge process, go to rush and ask around. The organizations who do it properly will be proud about not hazing. Gauge the people and make sure they really are the kind of people you’d feel comfortable being “brothers” with.</p>
