If a pledge said that she couldn't find her pledge pin (thinking she might have dropped it) and then forcing her "pledge sisters" to go outside (mind u it happened in November), and crawl around in the grass in pitch black WITH NO FLASHLIGHTS while its pouring rain, while the sorority sisters sit inside their apartment watching and yelling at the pledges cause that can't find it, would you consider that hazing?

Yes, I would. But the hazing involved is not the requirement to wear your pledge pin at all times. It's the ridiculous overreaction to a pledge losing the pledge pin. You lost the pin that the chapter gave you? Fine, you have to pay for a new one -- and then you are to wear it.

If you have to wear a pledge pin on ur bra strap, and everytime a sister wants to see if you are wearing ur pledge pin, you have to show your bra---in front of any students who pass by....would you consider that hazing?

Well, since I was speaking from a fraternity viewpoint, and since I don't know many guys (Kramer or Frank Costanza notwithstanding) who wear bras . . . .
But seriously, why in the world would you wear a pledge pin on your underwear? How would that be considered respectful? Referring you to my previous post, plenty of fraternities do require pledges to wear pledge pins "24/7" (excepting the shower, sleepwear or athletic uniforms, etc.) In other words, if you're wearing clothes, unless it's a uniform of some sort, you should also be wearing your pledge pin. I guess I was presuming that everyone knew I meant specifically that your pledge pin should be on your shirt, sweater or sweatshirt, not on underwear. After all, the purposes of having pledges wear the pledge pin are (1) to show everyone else that he is a pledge, and (2) to demonstrate respect for and pride in the fraternity. Neither of these are accomplished when the pledge pin is on underwear.
