Is it for everyone? No. But sense there are no frats where you live, it's a little difficult to explain. Considering the tone of your post though, convincing you to open up to the idea a little appears to be a struggle.

I contest. Frankly I believe that hazing has little or no value in forming relationships. Shared experience need not be a test of endurance or any other such meaningless, gratuitous ritual. I mean, why not simply become friends with people who you feel a natural affinity with, this is a true bond, since it arises from meaningful aspects of tow people's character and disposition, it is not synthesised by ritual and mutual membership of an arbitrary institutional category. I mean if me and John Doe are friends because we like the same things, and simply get along like a house on fire, surely this is more valuable than being friends with someone simply because you are in the same frat.
