Skin burning
Branding is a process in which a hot iron hanger is placed into your skin until it leaves a mark. This becomes a scar that remains with you forever. This is an agonizing ritual that does not just remain for a few minutes, but will scar you for the rest of your life. Usually, fraternities use Greek alphabets to represent their group. For those with longer fraternity names, they also had to brand all the letters on their skin, making them go through the process more than once.
