And notice I said hazing and not pledging, because in my mind they will always be two different things.

Yeah, a similar thing happened in Omega. To address this issue,they kept whittling down the length of the pledge period and tweaking the program until 1990 when the big change were adopted in the NPHC. The problem is not as acute in the sororities as the fraternities but across the board, we face the same issues, organizationally speaking. And, unfortunately, we get tarred with the same brush when things go awry in some big, high profile cases.
