Coquettish Rebirth

One of the reasons why fraternities are so controversial is the variety of testing programs.Test items often have the nature of corporal punishment and humiliation, and some test items are dangerous.The British "Independent" once reported on what happened to Justin Stuart, a 19-year-old freshman at Salisbury University in Maryland, when he joined a fraternity.Because he couldn't recite the rules and regulations of the fraternity, in early March 2012, Stuart was forced to stand outside wearing only his underwear, "there was still snow on the ground", and the fraternity members sprayed water on him with a hose.Stuart said that after joining the club, he saw some testing projects, such as locking potential members in a dark basement and not giving them food for a long time; making them wear women's clothes or diapers to "show off on campus" ’; repeatedly listening to a heavy metal song turned up to full volume… “This isn’t a fraternity, it’s Guantanamo Bay,” Stuart laments.

Even in the summer of 2011, Travis Hughes, a student at Marshall University in West Virginia, took an initiation test -- standing drunk on a balcony while having a lit firework rocket inserted in his anus by a fraternity member.Student Lewis Helberg III held up his phone, ready to capture the scene.The upshot of the farce: A firework rocket exploded in Hughes' rectum, and Hughes fell from the balcony.Fortunately, the balcony was less than 1.5 meters from the ground, but the damage caused by the explosion kept Hughes in the hospital for a long time.It would be a big mistake to think that American university fraternities are gathering places for "bad guys" based on this.Members of the fraternity play like crazy, and they can also learn like crazy, and there are many "students".Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many elites from the Brotherhood!

In order to make such a film, Jia Hongjian also hired "experts" to learn about these fraternities and the like.The person he was looking for was his fiancée—Ye Jing!This Ye Jingna is also a popular person in the sorority in mit in the United States. According to her introduction, she will join a sorority.The trial period was very long and torturous!Joining the party in China is relatively easy and messy - if one wants to join a fraternity or sorority, one needs to do something to prove one's loyalty.Such a process of showing loyalty is not the test mentioned earlier!Because this time is not qualified to accept the test!Because at such a time, it is only equivalent to the stage of writing the "application for joining the party". How could it be possible to be "examined" while writing the application?No matter what you have to hand in the application, they accepted it.This is the beginning of the investigation!

This process of trying to get the approval of the fraternity or sorority is called rush, and in Chinese it is called sprint.At the beginning of each semester, in order to attract new students to rush to their fraternity, the fraternity will hold a lot of activities, such as open-air barbecues or open-air movies or e-sports, and then send flyers everywhere to invite people to play.At each event, someone observes which of these freshmen have the interest and potential to join a fraternity and sorority, and accumulates information during these events.After a few events, the fraternity sends out invitations to freshmen who feel good.This process lasts about a month, and the fraternity keeps sending out invitations during the first month of school, and freshmen have to decide whether they want to accept the fraternity invitation before the recruitment is over.

If the person agrees to accept the fraternity invitation.It is equivalent to the "Party Membership Application" being accepted, which will then become an official pledge, which roughly means that you agree that you will do your best to get the fraternity to recognize you, in other words, "probationary party member" , this time is the time to accept all kinds of tests!This process of testing will last for one semester in Ye Jing's sorority.Fraternities and sororities may have "prospects" do all sorts of things during the semester to prove loyalty.This custom varies greatly between each fraternity. Some fraternities require you to study hard and get to know more about the members of the fraternity.But some fraternities will ask "probationary members" to do very unimaginable, weird and even perverted things.

For example, let people go out to run naked in the winter, or wear Superman costumes to class.Or yelling "I'm sb I'm sb!" on the street.Ye Jing said that one of the cruel things she had seen was asking a girl to raise a goldfish, and at the beginning she told the girl that the goal was to keep the goldfish alive for a semester.As a result, the girl managed to raise the fish for a semester to ensure that the fish did not die. Who knew that at the end of the last semester, she told the girl that now we are going to blindfold you.Then you have to reach into the fish tank to get the goldfish out and eat them!And it really made the girl eat the goldfish alive, and didn't replace it with anything else!

If one semester of "probation period" is successfully passed, the person is a full-fledged fraternity or sorority member at the beginning of the second semester.Among the members of the official fraternity, everyone also has a rank.Basically, the earlier you join, the higher the level.On this basis, everyone's performance and other factors will also affect the level to a certain extent.High-level members have certain benefits—for example, fraternities or sororities, in order to raise funds for activities, they basically rent an apartment collectively off-campus, and then sublet the room to members of the fraternity and sorority, so that they rely on the rent The price difference is used to earn activity funds.When choosing a room to live in, members with higher ranks can be selected first. When queuing up, each member has their own position and must be a staff member.These jobs vary from being a bartender, to a waiter, to being a security guard, to see if anyone is drunk and falls down the stairs.And high-level members can choose some better positions first, such as guarding the door of the women's toilet!Because this position can often strike up a conversation with a drunk girl!

After that, like Ye Jing, she finished four years of college and graduated as a member of the sorority.Then she is the alumni of this sorority. If it is changed to Chinese, it means similar to "alumni".One of the great benefits of being an "alumni" of a sorority is that you have a network of contacts all over the country!If the HR director is from the same sorority when you apply for the job, or the project director is from the sorority when you bid for the project, even if you don’t know each other before, you will try your best to help get this position or project to “brothers” Sisters" hands!And fraternity sorority "alumni" who start their own companies often come back specifically to the fraternity to recruit!These "alumni" have great rights in the fraternity. If they have time to go back to their fraternity to have a look, there will be no one who will dare to say anything to the official members who scold the juniors there.Moreover, many important decisions in the fraternity must be discussed with a few highly respected "alumni" first, and decisions cannot only be made by official members of the school.So from such a perspective, these "alumni" should be called "elders"!

Such a sorority of Ye Jing and the others was established in 1907. The sorority of their school is the headquarters, and there are 31 branches nationwide!All kinds of "elders" and "alumni" accumulated over the past 100 years are really full of the world!According to Ye Jing, the chief financial officer and human resource chief executive of a world-renowned game company like Blizzard are all members of the "camp" of their mit sisterhood!So if Ye Jing didn't follow Jia Hongjian, but went out to find a job by herself, then if she wanted to join Blizzard, it would be a mess with ease!Then it seems that a female executive of Shell Oil Company was also "produced" by their sorority, and there are even two "elder" elder sisters in their sorority. In ten or eight years, some of them will become the female governor of a certain state in the United States!

However, Jia Hongjian is quite curious about how the members of such a sorority establish a relationship with each other—for example, Ye Jing knows that the president of human resources of Blizzard is in the same sorority as her, but if she applies for the job, he may not be sure. know her!As a result, Ye Jing said that in this sorority and fraternity, there is a specially designed method to confirm the relationship with each other that is not easy for outsiders to detect. It may be a small gesture when shaking hands, or an inadvertent one when speaking. The code words spoken during the time, these designs are really unknown to outsiders, only people who may be fraternities or sororities know.And even if you fooled me, it would be too easy to find out later!

Of course, this is not to say that the top executives of the company are members of the fraternity and sorority, so they will recruit their own people, but it is absolutely fine to give some help within the scope.And what Bain has to do is to turn such a club into a new fraternity for adults!In such a fraternity, he will let everyone help each other, and he will even pull everyone to help each other on his own initiative!Whether it's work, relationship, or even life!As long as there is trouble, as long as you are willing to speak up, the people in this club will try their best to help solve such a problem!Even if the owner of a shop is burned down and the insurance payout is not enough, even Bain and the others can encourage members to pool money to sponsor such a shop owner!Under such a situation, the members of this "brotherhood" expanded too quickly!It can be said that in just a few months, this member has grown to thousands of people!
