Nor is it, IMHO and IMHB, was the posting/poster I quoted was refering to.

No, I am referring to hazing which is used to build bonds within the pledge class and make them respect the house. I'm not talking about making pledges drink handles of whiskey and eat dog shit. I have said that the "right" kind of hazing is extremely useful. I have also stated repeatedly that I, in no way, condone hazing that is dangerous/life threatening.
Early morning house cleans, study halls, Pledge reviews, member interviews, pledge uniforms, scavenger hunts, pledge trips, etc. etc. Are just fine to me. You can disagree all you want, but these things teach pledges to respect their house, respect the history of the chapter/fraternity, act/dress like gentlemen, respect each other, and build bonds within their class. If you still take all this as illegal and "outdated"...then i'm sorry. Maybe this is why Southern fraternity chapters are among the best in the country, without a doubt.
