From my supposition, apparently, you have just attended some function on your college campus that an NPHC organization had that discussed why those who call themselves Christians refuse to be a part of their organiztion, but form another organization that uses greek symbols and does all the attributes of the NPHC--such as stepping, etc. Please correct me if I am wrong?
Then you stated hazing as a "fact of life". Well it is not... What is hazing? I call it hitting, making someone do things inappropriately to gain membership, degrading and demeaning someone's existance. And if I call myself a Christian, why would I trying to terrorize or belittle someone only to make them my soror later? That is stupid and I am not into that... And I can say that my Sorority is not into that either... And although I do not know all my sorors on the planet, I can say the majority of the ones I have met and come to know are not into that either...

My extinct of knowledge about greek life goes a lot further than you may think. But I can see how you would assume I am only knowledgeable about my campus. Actually, my campus isn't big on greek life, most of the groups are suspended. But my knowledge comes from a lot of research and observation of other groups at other schools. Actually, I have a lot of friends that are greek. No, they aren't living Holy lives (but I don't judge them either way). And, Im not doubting that God exist within many greek orgs. Actually, I am sure He does. What I am saying is that some Christ-like people feel like it is too hard to live a Holy life while being apart of these orgs. so they either don't join or denounce membership or whatever.
As far as hazing...well I know thats a touchy topic and I don't want to try to make greek orgs look bad so I am just going to leave that alone. But I know that you can't be that naive to know what goes on in undergrad....all one has to do is look on sites like facebook or myspace to see what members of greek orgs. write about the process.
