Now that I have been thinking about this, and comparing some of you to that chain of people in PCU singing "this penis party's got to go, hey-hey, ho-ho" and complaining about the 'meat tossers', I have a few more questions for you.

*Is requiring a pledge to read your lore, and maybe even test on it, hazing?
*Is requiring a pledge to be in shirt/tie or an all white dress/shoes for an event, hazing?
*Is requiring a pledge to spend XXX hours at your house each week, hazing?
*Is requiring a pledge to spend XXX hours at the library each week, hazing?
*Is requiring a pledge to have XXX hours of philanthropy during their pledge period, hazing?
*Is requiring a pledge to meet or exceed X.XX GPA in order to be initated, hazing?
*Is requiring a pledge to wear a pledge-pin, hazing?

Every one of your orgs. has one or more of those requirements, or something similar. Each of those requirements were openly discussed as requirements to your pledge. They knew these requirements BEFORE they pledged your house.

How can any of preach 'hazing', when all of your orgs. have pre-set rules, such as above? Then, if you DO believe those are hazing, what are you doing (to your own org.) to stop this?

If all of our orgs. had open-door invitations to anyone and everyone, with NO requirements, then we'd all be Alpha Beta Gamma's, because we'd all be in the same group.

I'm sure there is a tree to hug somewhere, or a war to protest or some safe-haven land in Alaska that needs complaining about - why stop with hazing?
