New member exams are not just hazing, they are also a waste of time! I remember spending a lot of time studying for them, making sure I knew every last detail about each founder, etc. when I could have been studying for my classes. My chapter hasn't done new members exams now for almost ten years and if you ask our current members who our founders are and other information that was on new member exams they can still tell you. It is all about programming and educating your members throughout their time in college and as alumnae

This is just my opinion, but this statement doesnt help the hazing problems we do have. Hazing is something (in my opinion) that ould cause mental or physical danger. How is taking a test hazing? I mean if we go by thse terms , then making your new members wear the same shirt on Bid Day could be considered hazing. If we keep considering anything hazing, we wont be bale to do any activities soon.
You need to know the history, yes you can learn it without a test, but I know for my chapter the test helped us to understand the initiation we went through. We werent like, "what the heck was that all about?" when it was done. But to each his own. My 2 cents.
