I know my Nationals doesn't allow quizzes, which I confess to finding a little silly. However, the main point of distinction I see between hazing/not hazing is, is this something required of new members and initiated members both?

It's true - a member in a Greek organization whether as a NM or an initiate IS required to do certain things. Chapter meetings are required, for example. New members must go to new member meetings - generally while initiated members are in chapter meetings, and in my recollection the NMs were generally having a lot more fun than we were! Heck, initiated sisters had more things they were required to do than NMs did.

If saying that a group requiring its members to do ANYTHING is considered hazing, then we're stretching the definition of hazing just to make a point. In that case, every honor society, every university, every employer is out there hazing. But I think that's a deliberate misunderstanding of what the term "hazing" means.

I concur
