I'm new to these boards but have been in a sorority for a couple years and this hazing sensitivity has bothered me also. We're not allowed to buy are "pledges" oh i mean new members paddles from their big sisters. Many of the older members have them "to sarah... we love you... from your big jenny" and so on and i think theyr'e adorable. But mine just have my name on it... nothing sentimental... i think it's rather ridiculous.
Last year we sold candy to raise money for our pledge dance... i mean new member dance (if we're being pc about it) and some girls didn't want to sell and nationals probably called it hazing. Geez... i thought! We're not allowed to raise money like that anymore
I wasn't afraid of hazing until i joined a sorority and realized i was not afraid of hazing... but of being accused of hazing. Way oversensitive!
