As the one sorority on our campus that didn't haze, I'll tell you what, it was a tough thing to do. But guess what? There are folks out there who would love to join Greek organizations, but they don't want to deal with the bullshit of hazing. And we found that a lot on our campus. So we offered an alternative...now mind you, once the other groups caught wind of the alternative, they changed what they said to rushees, telling them that they didn't haze either. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

I agree with ecukd...if your organization hazes and you think it's wrong, take a stand. Trust me, there were plenty of women in our group who wanted to haze, but that wasn't why we were founded. We were founded as an alternative to the other groups that already existed. And we weren't going to let that change so we could "fit in". Our national organization has a great non-hazing new member program that works really well and provides for the integration of new members into the sorority, as well as the respect for what they are coming into and also for the history and traditions of the organization.
