There is no line between hazing and pledgeship. The line is between hazing and not hazing, or to put it another way, whether hazing is part of your chapter's pledgeship or not.
For all practical purposes, it's hazing if (1) your fraternity or sorority defines it as hazing, (2) your college or university defines it as hazing, or (3) your state law defines it as hazing.
This has been dsicussed many times in quite a few threads, including some of the stickied threads like " Does Your Chapter Haze" and " Do you think your organization's risk management policies go overboard?"
I'm betting that if you read these threads, you'll see how the sorority chapter requiring their new members to serenade a fraternity chapter may have constituted hazing as defined by their inter/national organization. |
