I'm not trying to take sides in the banter that has been happening but want to give my 2 cents. A lot of what has been discussed is subject to perception. No, most people don't consider having to learn the alphabet as hazing, most NM like wearing the pin. But, there are some out there that consider anything other than showing up for parties/meetings/paying money for a t-shirt to be hazing.
For example: we had quizzes every Monday night during our pledge term (back when it was pledging). we had a girl call national because we had to take a quiz. mind you, if you answered at least 1 question right you passed but that's another story. she felt that this was forcing us to do something. the fact that she was about as intelligent as the smiley face to my left aside, she was a b*itch when it came to NM activities.
So, it came down to her viewing something as hazing, not that the rest of us did, but to her it was.
