Obviously since the chapters that haze so bad haven't died out yet, there are positives from hazing pledges. The frats and sororites that have difficult pledge periods are known on campus, its not a big secret who hazes and who doesn't. Still rushees sign their bids to the "hard" frats and sororities time and time again... and once the hazing starts, they don't quit. Because of this, I believe that hazing is not as big of a deal as most of you are making it. I've read a lot of the "anti-hazing" comments, and honestly, but if you have no experience with it, how can you judge whether it is effective or not? Same goes with the hazing groups, it isn't fair for you to judge the chapters that do not haze. It is a matter of choice for the fraternity or sorority to make amongst themselves. It is their risk, and their organization on the line, meaning there's no purpose in fighting about it.
