Interesting list.
Why?
For the most part and in general form, it is what we did.
So, if for some reason, we have missed a major meeting of the minds along the way, I am sorry.

I don't think we missed something.....I just think that there are FAR too many people on this site that automatically think something God awful horrible when the word "hazing" gets brought up. I think a list might have been in order to express some positives that can come out of the right kind of "hazing."
It gets fairly old hearing Earp and DA bark about things being illegal/against nationals/raising insurance costs etc. etc.........so I figured I'd try to explain from my point of view.
I just think that pledges should earn the right to be a member. I think that allowing them a free pass to initiation a month after they sign a bid card is horrible and bad for a chapter as a whole (I say this because I know of some chapters that do exactly this.) The "new school" attitute of having New Members, Associate Members, etc. etc. just doesn't fly too well with me.
