It's not just alcohol hazing that goes on…
I spent a year in sober living with an Ag who spent all four years in the Corps. He didn't want to try to be commissioned or enter the military. He said that it left a bitter taste in his mouth. He is a good man. He couldn't stand the hazing.
Short story. We took a trip up to Oklahoma for a retreat with our sober home people.
We threw the football around in the lake. His Aggie ring came off into the lake when he threw the football. He was devastated. And I felt for him.
So we were made to leave. And I was determined to try to hunt for it. We went to the dollar store and bought some cheap goggles. Everyone said that there was no way we were going to find the silly Aggie ring. "Why does it mean that much?" And I just told them that they just would never understand. So myself, my Aggie friend, and another were given a ride back to the lake. After about 30 minutes, I created diving system of my own. I saw the gold shine and you cannot believe the joy I felt when I came up out of the water with the ring to see my Aggie brother's face!
I shouted in joy. Hallelujah! It was awesome that everyone could not believe that I had found the ring when the other two with me had already quit and were on the shore. Aggie fight never dies…
Anyway, I'm just sharing that story because whatever you all decide on hazing is not for me to have any final say or anything.
I look up to Aggies everywhere, especially the Corps of Cadets because they are the keepers of the school spirit.
God bless.
