ive been to our own initiation, and others as a guest... ive tried being paddled couple times just for fun and during my initiation... ive also seen one of brod collapse and eventually died after 1 week, but the reason is not because of paddling, he had condition but didnt inform us, we urged all our neophyte to have medical clearance for safety reason... so if you think you are not that strong better not join... kita raman sad maka balo if makaya ba nato we can gauge our self if we can take the beating...
one reason why our group here in cebu are almost wipe out tungod ato na issue before... it was on the news couple years ago... fraternity is actually good if run properly...
