I'm with Bridget3D on this one...
I'm sorry but this is such a lost battle. There is no way in hell that all groups will come together and figure of one clear-cut definition of "hazing." I think that all of this anti-hazing crap has gotten way out of control. I am against your stereotypical definition of "hazing." Abuse in any way, shape, or form should not be tolerated whatsoever. But when it comes down to telling someone that they can't hold a scavenger hunt (not stealing or obtaining anything illegal) or conduct interviews to get to know members that is just bonkers to me. God forbid that that the pledges get to know the members and vice versa before initiation. Why would you want to join an organization if you didn't know the members very well before you got initiated. If you don't take the time as a pledge to get to know your future sisters you could come to find out later that you are in the wrong place!
All I can say is that if you are dumb enough to be "hazed" in the bad form then you deserve it. If someone would have tried to make me do something that I didn't want to do then I would have got up and walked out.
I wish my chapter would have made me work a little bit harder for my letters. When you work a little bit harder for something it means more to you.
Have a nice day
