That's not how I read his post...it just struck me as funny that someone who's been here for 3 months is calling someone else new...oh well.

It's been awhile since I've read this thread from the beginning...but I don't think I've ever given my personal thoughts on hazing before. I said my group doesn't haze, but that doesn't necessarily mean that represents my personal view on hazing.

If you would like to know, for the hell of it, I think we've taken the non-hazing WAY too far in the other direction. You can't even do things in good fun anymore. They USED to string the house for Bigs (you take a skein of yarn and run it up and down and all throughout the house, and then the pledge follows the yarn to find out who their big sister is...) but they can't even do THAT anymore, because it could be hazing. Physical harm, alcohol, and eating non-edible things are one thing, but harmless games for fun that are now considered hazing are ridiculous. But, one person's "harmless" is another person's hazing, so we just take all the fun out of it, and no one has a problem.
