When I was active, we were trying desperately to get away from everything having an implication of hazing. So while trying to make things more positive and non-hazing, we had old alumnae question our decisions citing that "it wasn't tradition... the new girls get it too easy now... etc." While you'd like to listen... there were times where I wanted to throw Baird's Manual at them.
