Self-esteem
Via Lolwot
“Fraternities and sororities will cause you to gain a different kind of self-esteem as there would be programs on personality development that you will undergo.”
Tests your ability to withstand pressure
“Frats are based on a culture of machismo, and you are able to prove that you have that when you are able to withstand that painful and rigorous admission process. As a result, you carry with you a badge of honor.”
“Pang patapang din kasi ng loob yung hazing. Hindi lang pampatibay ng physical well-being mo pati na din yung fortitude mo bilang isang tao nahahasa para di ka mabilis mag break down. Saka bakit yung sa mga army and police trainings may mga kasamang paglulubog sa tubig ng walang damit pag papahampas sa alon pag papakagat sa langgam pang papaso atbp sa mga trainings nila kasi pampatibay yun ng loob na kapag andiyan ka na sa totoong sitwasyon alam mo gagawin mo at di ka mag bbreak down”
Self-fulfillment
“Only after hazing that you’ll realize (sic) how difficult, painful and at the same time fulfilling it is to become a brad.”
To follow the tradition
Via Telegraph
“Meron nang hazing ever since, so it’s continuing the tradition of the fraternity. And tradition is important in every organization. It’s our identity.”
“Initiation rights or ‘hazing’ in frat’s term has long been practiced as a baptism to new members. It’s like, to become a Christian, one has to be baptized to feel that you are now a Christian. Same goes with fraternities. One has to undergo hazing to be fully considered a “brad.”
