Something as simple as the group needing to buy the same t-shirt can be seen as hazing because there may be one or two members who may not be able to afford or like the t-shirt, so they are being put under pressure to conform with the group, i.e. they are being hazed.
I don't know what was specifically done in this case, but all it takes is one person to say 'Hey, this action is making me uncomfortable. I am going to complain.'

And that really upsets me. The definition for hazing is so broad and includes so many behaviors that make our organization unique.
If the one or two can't afford the t-shirts, then they just don't buy them. OR the rest of the sorors chip in to get their shirts, which is how we roll.
