What I was refering to were things that I had read on other threads on this topic which were similar to things I encountered as a pledge. When I got my big sis I went on a scavenger hunt to find clues at a variety of locations before it was revealed. That was fun and I was not harmed in the least! Now, scavenger hunts are deemed hazing b/c there are individuals that will take things way too far. If I had ever had things poured on me, thrown at me, etc. there is no way I would have joined my group!! That has no purpose and serves no value. But going on my big sis hunt is a whole different story. I bonded with the girls in my group b/c we got to share that fun together while we ran all over town looking for clues and trying to put it all together and see if we were actually right
It's unfortunate that such fun and harmless activities have to be done away with b/c of a minority of people.
