I realize why GLOs & schools have to renounce "hazing", its a liability thing. But hazing is a double-edged sword, without it, greek chapters go downhill...the quality of guy in a fraternity that doesnt haze compared to one that does is very evident. If you didnt have to work your ass off to EARN those letters, you will never respect it as you should, and you will most likely be a slapdick active that doesnt do anything. There is a reason the millitary trains to "break you down" then build you up, its the same concept.

I think our respective HQ's recognize that, that's why we have all of this new national programming stuff, e.g., Sigma Nu's LEAD, Sig Ep's "Balanced Man," etc. I gather that our HQ's are trying to give us an option. Whether or not it's a superior option is up to each chapter. Of course, if they're caught hazing, the HQ's have to deal with them pretty harshly.
