If your inter/national org thinks its hazing, it probaby shouldn't be done. As someone else pointed out, when you take your oath or vow, you agree to follow the rules of the org. My advice (not that anyone asked) is if you don't like the rules and want to see changes in your favor--then talk to campus officials, other Greeks and your inter/national officers and present them with the FIPG policy, laws or other information and ask the questions before you just do what you want. . . .

Good advice, Heather17; looks like the FarmHouse chapter at the U. of Minnesota didn't follow it -- and got suspended by the school and by its national HQ. See the university's March 29 '06 news release:

Edited to add: And a few days ago it was announced that the Delta Chi chapter at Purdue has ben suspended for hazing. See
