The punishment for hazing varies in all national organization based on the situation. Most national organizations are not going to stand for hazing, whether it be mental or physical, and when caught, the chapter will pay a price. Some fraternities and sororities have been pulling charters and recolonizing anew after the crop of initiated members has graduated. Others will just have a national visitor very often!! The whole, you can't take new members, punishment is just crap, because groups will do it underground anyway. That is just asking for numbers problems. If you're going to take someone's charter, then just do it. Don't force their hands into folding b/c of numbers.

As everyone said, hazing is illegal, and even if it is still happening, that doesn't change the fact that it is punishable by law!
