From reading the posts at www.stophazing.org (which has become a discussion board for the divine nine), there is still quite a debate among and about members who have endured the traditional hazing and beating (and has long been officially banned) and the members accepted without hazing/beating.

The non-hazed members are put down and called "paper" members.

The St. John's (NY) lawsuit this year (hazers found not guilty) was about a BGLO member who was being dissed as a "paper", and he thought enduring a little hazing/beating would make him a better and more accepted member. He got a little more than he expected, so he sued the hazers (and lost).

I don't have an exact count, but it seems to me that the BGLO chapters are being suspended/expelled in large numbers - far more in proportion compared to their numbers.

Sure, there are many more traditional GLOs suspended/expelled (Pi Kappa Phi-Berkeley this week) but there are so many more of them.
