Hazing Policies, Realities and Responses
MomKat,
Pi Kappa Alpha surely has their own policy prohibiting hazing - every fraternity does. My experience has been that "today's hazing" does not include the physical wrongs of yesteryear (e.g. paddling), but more so focuses on ridiculousness (e.g. running errands for active members). That's not to say that it is right, but it also means that Greeks have come a long way.
In terms of what to do about hazing... it is illegal and should be reported to the university, to the national organization and to the police if necessary. If your child is worred about their personal safety, they should quit the pledge class immediately.
