We all know hazing is "Illegal" (riiiiiight)... but still occurs anyway regardless of how watchful the eye is on big brother and whatever guidelines they have. However, every once in a while the the opportunity presents itself to some folk to go paper. Some do... some choose to work for theirs. I just want to here from those in any GLO, their feelings about the whole going paper scenario. Right now i'm semi-neutral because now that i'm on the other side I understand the whole not wanting to jeopardize getting your chapter kicked off the yard over somebody who complains plus the fact that this past semester was far from fun and i'm really not the type to want to pass that on to somebody else, however, i still feel people should work for their letters in some kind of way, feel me? What do you think?

I've heard paper was signing the lines when you had the option of going through a process.
As far as grad chapters...I know personally that if I wanted to get involved with an organization it is almost impossible for me to do it undergrad being that my school has a limitation on lines and legacies are guaranteed spots provided they have the gpa. I've heard this also occurs at other large HBCUs. If I make it that far and am called paper I doubt I would care being that I stuck to something that I really wanted. I've heard some folks who go grad are respected because they do the work for their organizations, which is what really matters. I think at that age some one would be fairly immature just to join and org, pay for it just so that they can claim letters.
