No, you wouldn't see a lot of college fraternities do this sort of hazing. The goal of certain Freemasonic lodges is to create a hiearchy of compartmentalization. The lower degrees know nothing of the higher degrees. Freemasonry created mormonism, it has a direct relationship with Jehovah witnesses and Zionism. Freemasonry is the anthesis of real Christianity. Their God is Lucifer, their ideology is Gnosis, hence the G in the middle of the square and compass.

The lodges before the 16th century for the most part were benign. Some only had a few degrees and not 33 or the 90+ of Mizraim or Memphis lodges, not to be confused with the rite of the Mizraim-Memphis.

They were key players in the bolshevik revolution, Zionism, theosophy and scaring securing an ethnostate for the mostly counterfeit Jews in a counterfeit Israel. Netanyahu is a Freemason, many of teh prime ministers of Israel were freemasons. Look at their ritual books. All of the promote the rebuilding of Solomon's Temple.

learn all the 'code' and venacular of the fraternity.

You do not need to. They hide their true intentions under code and vernacular, there really isn't anything profound about it. Go onto Globalgreybooks.com and read the many Freemason ritual books they have there.

Even Albert Pike said Lucifer was "Our" God.

promote good things like charity and community service.

That's the lower degrees, and most religions support good things and conduct community service. They outwardly must do these things. Even the revolutionary lodges did just this. Many of the lodges still have ulterior goals.

Which I'll write about eventually.
