I think your points are well taken, but I'd be willing to bet that the girls are not nearly as culpable as the guys.
During the 1980's at UT I saw very severe hazing all in mens groups additionally I'd bet if you did a Lexis search of hazing 95%, and all the physically abusive behavior, would concern mens organizations. Empirical proof must count for something.
I also don't have a problem with things like scavenger hunts, not allowing pledges to go into a certain rooms in the house etc. Probably what the DG's did.
In my book hazing is making someone drink, rallies, lineups , hell week, personal servitude branding etc.
This type of abuse is evil and must be stopped. I don't however agree with suspensions for group oriented traditions which are harmless, zero tolerance at any level is a recipe for stupidity.
