I can confirm that the Atheist Corner is run like a fraternity, because that's clearly the most rational way to do things. /s

No, but seriously, I wasn't told about that part of it and now I can't wear those brand new pants because they smell.  Screwtape owes me a new pair of those.

i've never understood frats and sororities. The pledging, the hazing ... why would I want to be friends with people who think abuse is a fun way to decide if you're worthy??? My brother was in a frat and loved it, hazing and all. I don't get it.

Hazing is a way to bond initiates tighter to the group.  The more difficult it is, the tighter the bond.  There have been coming of age rituals in all societies specifically for this reason.  Consider young men in Africa who have to spend nights outside in the cold for their tribal entrance to manhood.  Consider Navy Seals.  Their ordeals are not just to find out how they endure extreme stress, but it also bonds them together.

I understand going through difficult times together as a bonding experience. What I don't understand is bonding with a person who harms you directly. Send us out in the woods together with nothing but a pocket knife and I get it. Hit me or humiliate me by your own hand? No, I don't get that at all.

That is not generally how frat hazing goes, as I understand it.  That is when it goes awry.  When I was in college a hundred years ago, one of the frats got kicked off campus.  They were sodomizing the pledges.

If you are an atheist, and would like to join our new atheist only group, then this thread is for you. You'll have access to a atheists-only area and receive special offers and announcements reserved only for them. There are only 2 prerequisites to admittance -

Sororities are for dances with fraternities. The guys get sex and a few of the girls get their dream: they marry a banker, accountant, insurance agent or other Republican.
