What is Fraternity Hazing and what is Fraternity?
Hazing is any action or situation, with or without the consent of the participants, which
recklessly, intentionally, or unintentionally endangers the mental, physical,
or academic heath or safety of a student.
This includes, but is not limited to any situation which:
• Creates a risk of injury to any individual or group
• Causes discomfort to any individual or group
• Causes embarrassment to any individual or group
• Involves harassment of any individual or group
• Involves degradation of any individual or group
• Involves humiliation of an individual or group
• Involves ridicule of an individual or group
• Involves or includes the willful destruction or removal of public or private property for the purpose of initiation or admission into, affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in an organization.
Fraternity is defined as a group of people united in a relationship, having some common interests, activity, and purpose. It is a brotherhood, as the members usually say, of people at a college or university usually characterized by Greek letters. For members, fraternity means brotherhood, unity, friendship, trust and acceptance. It means meeting new people, sharing interests and accepting others' as well. It helps in building confidence and character because they believe that a fraternity gives a certain kind of protection. It gives the feeling of security and importance. It is somewhat comparable to gangs as they are both organization of people. However, gangs usually lack purpose and acceptance to communities. Usually linked with violence because members tend to compete with each other. Unlike in fraternity, members have this humility to help each other out and protect each other from an outsider.
My opinion about Fraternity is that the Fraternity is not so bad at all but still there are times that this fraternity may help you in your daily lives. Maybe sometimes it is said that it is not good because of the war against fraternity, rumbles, crimes and others and sometimes it is good because they help their own community for the best for example in fiesta of their patron saint , they help to arrange things that they know and they can do. Some of the member of these groups are teenager students because now all of the universities and school here in the Philippines have a different groups. The reason on why these people join this fraternity is because they have a family problem or they have problem with money and some reasons are just to have friends but the truth on why they join on a particular group is for brotherhood.
For me Hazing is the another name for bullying it is the action or situation which recklessly and endangers the the physical and the mental health and the safety of a student. There are so many victims of hazing here in the Philippines and in the other countries so that they create a law that makes the hazing as a crime because this action can kill a person because of physical harassment.
These law is the REPUBLIC ACT NO. 8049- An act that regulating hazing and other forms of initiation rites in Fraternities, Sororities, and other organizations and providing penalties therefore.
But still even we have these law, these law can't stop the hazing here in the Philippines.
Stop Fraternity War and Stop Fraternity Hazing.
Live and Let Live.
