So recently our chapter, ZH at San Jose State has been told to drop our traditions of big bro night b/c of alcohol and even elements of initiation due to "hazing,"
If I remember correctly, you are supposed to follow the initiation ritual(s) as they are outlined in the small blue book that we all have. Therefore, you should not be adding any aspects to the ritual, whether you think they are hazing or not. Right?

I do not feel like we are problematic, we don't haze but we do like to see emotion and have the pledges feel and have devotion towards Beta.
We, as chapters, have to abide by the rules. If someone says you're hazing, then it's probably best to follow their advice and alter your "traditions" so that they can't be misconstrued as hazing or detrimental.
