There is an entire world of fraternities and student associations that occupy students alongside their academic lives, of which we know little.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The registration period was the most intense part, according to Dutch student Livia Froitzheim. She joined the Dutch student association Veritas at the beginning of her academic year. She spent her morning waiting in line alongside hundreds of other students. \u201cThere were five rooms in this process of getting registered,\u201d she told me while trying to be careful not to spoil too much.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">These initiation periods are surrounded by a strong sense of secrecy. This secrecy remained intact until, in the final weeks of August, RTV Utrecht, a Dutch local broadcaster, found the script for UVSV\u2013NVVSU\u2019s initiation week. \u201cThis script is secret! Don\u2019t let it wander and never send it to others,\u201d read the cover of the script, which would keep students in anticipation for weeks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The tasks of these committee members are mostly to be snappy and treat the students as what they are: freshmen joining the association. Livia noticed this too. \u201cRoom one was mostly about standing still, but room two was worse.\u201d In the second room, Livia underwent questioning. The interviewer was snappy and curt with her, actively questioning whether Livia wanted to go home. \u201cThis is how they try to figure out if people really want to be in the association,\u201d Livia explains. \u201cI spent approximately five hours in the rooms, which was short compared to others. Some spent up to nine hours in the registration process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Dutch psychology magazine writes about what could possibly be wrong with these older students (corpsleden) and why students would participate in these initiation rituals. \u201cIn a group, you quickly conform to what the rest are doing, even if something happens that you wouldn\u2019t normally approve of,\u201d they write. Prospective members feel they have to go along with it. Research shows that \u201chaving a place where you belong\u201d is a key motivation for joining a student association. In the end, everyone who has participated in one of these initiation periods lives to tell the tale and often describes the experience most accurately as \u201ctrauma bonding.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cThey must spend the night in suspense and fear, waiting to find out when and where they will be punished, and play along with this.\u201d This is one of the many tasks committee members carry out during the initiation period for Dutch students who want to join, in this example, the female student association UVSV\u2013NVVSU.
