I legitimately don't know what Fraternity is and why it's normal in America and why these dudes are standing like this.

You might ask yourself "why would anyone submit themselves to torture", well fraternities are pretty vital to rich kids to land jobs outside of school.

I was in one for a few months, but it was a new one with like 10 of us and the hazing was stealing crosses from the local KKK chapter so we could have a bonfire and drink beer.

Overall not too bad, there were a couple of weird guys, but that was one of the only ethnically diverse ones on campus lol

The pledge week was funny too, all the other ones had like a civil war era sword or some other legacy bullshit and these guys were just all laying around hungover with sunglasses on. When I asked them what their deal was they said "we like drinking and fucking with the local KKK"

Okay in this instance I will allow it, carry on.

stealing crosses from the local KKK chapter

You've got to be ancient for those to have been around.

This was like 12ish years ago. The local (kkk) chapter was literally just 2 hicks in the mountains lol. The (fraternity) chapter president grew up there and hated them.
