Foreign initiation initiation remains in fraternity history as a solemn act and external observance of the formal acceptance and acquaintance to the Brotherhood of a neophyte an initiation is the acceptance rights of fraternity initiation is the event where the neophyte makes his vows of loyalty usually respect to the founders and the traditions and
Um secrecy to all its beliefs respect that he is down an initiation fraternities most fraternities are in the value of secrecy foreign Is just one of those they did not say hazing is wrong they agreed to it knowing that in the ancient times up to now it is the most useful form of acceptance and ritual of any new fight in the military and many secret group societies across the world
But hazing is not only an ultimate form of initiations that is why hazing is not that much emphasized in some of organizations however I think this is something unique about the Philippines because initiations and opportunities some are Greek letter fraternities emphasizes hazing yeah many attempted in history government
Lawmakers and Senators to Simply put out hazing or initiation as a form of acceptance however fraternities and Hindi sumonood or body of religions however we need to ask ourselves if nothing initiation because initiation is for me or not wrong hazing for me is not wrong also because totally but in the anti-hazing laws
It did not band hazing organization advisors most of the Greek fraternities in the Philippines lower than 10. higher than 1790 and above and sad to say there are so many abuses also the old forms of Indian past the initiation from Sunset to Sunrise or from Sundown to Sunrise manga foreign or like giving
Equivalent to already abuse of sexual abuse or sex these are just among other of the abuses initiation aside from the abuses of hazing in my quest to know more better about initiation and hazing there are there must be about there must something be about it because there’s something positive
It’s not the initiation that is wrong but it is how extent it is based on my studies and based saming paniniwala Sami fraternity there are three reasons for initiation again initiation is a day or an r or RS where a neophyte is reminded of the bigger life foreign Is actually also a test and a practice of what is real life what we experience in initiation will be the same in real life sometimes even harsher and these are the very reasons why we are reminded with the tradition of initiation I Am pro initiation but I am against abuses or sobrang grabbing
Now let’s start with the three reasons allow me first into to enumerate the three of them for me and for us in the incremental verifiable the first reason is to know that there is Authority to lower down your pride second to remind us that life is of happiness and sadness
And lastly the third reason is to have a formal ceremony of initiation simula Latins in 30 years fraternities initiation is actually a form of making a neophyte or a pledge know that there is Authority or to lower down your pride parama right being humble most of us do not
Submit to something because of fear to be a lower subject to the other but haven’t you noticed the moment you were born you were already under the authority under the authority of your parents when you were born you became a citizen of the Philippines and wherever you are you
Were born meaning there was a government in authority over and above you also you were always under the authority of our creator our gun we have a God and a higher being a creator we need to understand that initiation reminds us to submit to a gun and to submit ourselves to government
If we do not we are just mere Rebels who fight the same fight that we are brothers have been doing left East life is about following life is we have a family our parents to honor we have a school to learn and teachers to follow we have a church to know that
There is a God and a government that we should be loyal to no matter how bad our government is this first reason is also the reason we often tell that if you have a misunderstanding with our brother or a chapter or the entire Ruf or your entire fraternity we resolve it
Inside and not argue outside within the organization that just means initiation is a reminder to remain humble and to follow Authority okay remain loyal and not fight outside second to remind us that life is of happiness and sadness dito always Fraternities in the Philippines only emphasize that initiation is a reminder of pain or sadness it is also about happiness we always emphasize both most fraternities fail in this ant swing in fact they only follow 0.5 reason out of the three reasons out of the three reasons we discovered most or majority of different
Fraternities only follow half of the three imagine that fraternities only believe that for a neophyte to be loyal he needs to suffer and no pain that is very sad but life is not about pain alone and dumbing memories smiles and laughter life is about happiness also we
Encapsulate into a day or hours of initiation that life that can be so sad and so happy also that is why we celebrate with our neophytes the happiness of being in one Brotherhood we journey with them let me emphasize that we journey with them say Bank fraternities final line
Or an end of the line that just means they are not there to support the new fights figuratively or symbolically or talagan realistically dito from the start of the initiation from the start of the service who wants our brothers to die who wants our brothers to suffer right
We don’t allow humiliation also and we don’t allow abuse we feed them we let them drink water we let them rest is about helping each other our neighbors need to experience pain and discomfort yes and our neophytes also need to experience fear but the purpose of this is to appreciate
Happiness that comes with the entire experience to appreciate the beauty of an entire life celebration and acting initiation acceptance it is a two-way process so that it will be more jubilant it will be more happy initiation after all they will be our brothers in a few hours life is not all
About sorrow life is all about being happy now remember ordinary time my Adventures celebrations resurrection and I know most Greek fraternities also celebrate the same cycle that there is something like a resurrection after the initiation blindfolds to symbolize the rebirth again the second reason pronunciation is
To remind our pledges that life is of sadness and of happiness and third reason for initiation the third reason is probably shallow in how it is worded but it is an initiation because to have a formal ceremony of initiation the simplest reason of the three yet cannot be
Neglected how do you accept a person in any organization there is always a ceremony involved right we do not just let them be members anymore in one meeting and tell them that they are already members without a celebration and a party emphasis and ceremony the more value military two years of training foreign
Or a trainee is accepted yes initiation does not guarantee loyalty fraternity but guys it does not guarantee a good life or um school does not guarantee also your success in life and become and make you the richest man on earth or make your careers go
But we need to just to prove that there is loyalty and to train them there is there is loyalty it just because it doesn’t guarantee anything we will remove it like schools it doesn’t guarantee a success life look at churches it does not guarantee you will understand full
Life’s mysteries and our God look at government or even the Philippine government it does not guarantee our being Filipinos but it doesn’t mean we will stop believing in them or in him in the simplest hazing that you can do is foreign and thank you for listening and watching thank you
