I legitimately don't know what Fraternity is and why it's normal in America and why these dudes are standing like this.

A fraternity is a college club. Young men join them to make friends, party, and form connections that may help their careers down the line (the female version is known as a "sorority"). A "pledge" is a young man in college who wants to join the fraternity, and pledges often have to go through a period of hazing in order to be accepted as a full member. This sometimes results in abuse scandals, like what you see here.

You might ask yourself "why would anyone submit themselves to torture", well fraternities are pretty vital to rich kids to land jobs outside of school.

Enduring weeks of brutal torture is totally worth it to own a Ford dealership in Arizona.
