Look, deflect the obvious all you want, and by all means, attack the messenger, but the pictures paint an ugly picture, and do so from a broad sampling. I would agree that this doesn't go on everywhere, but why does it occur at all? Why is it welcomed?

First of all, YOU'RE the one who entitled the thread "SORORITY paddle hazing." I'm just trying to point out that paddles/paddling is not a concept unique to Greek orgs. If you truly wanted to discuss why paddling occurs at all, you should have titled the thread "women being paddled" instead of pinning it on sororities like you did with the title.
Second of all, many NPC sororities have banned their members from owning paddles. If you'll notice, several of the pics you've posted are of sororities who are not even members of the NPC. There have been numerous discussions about rogue chapters whose behavior gives the rest of us a bad name.
Thirdly, some of those pics don't even look like they're actually paddling the girls. They look like they're being silly for the camera and holding the paddle up w/ the other girl sticking her butt in the air.
Finally, by my pointing out that other non-GLO groups have used paddling in the past (and, possibly in the present), I neither wrote nor implied that I thought it was acceptable. Get a grip.
I think this thread is a prime candidate for being locked.
