LexiKD - Thanks! I never thought about the local to national thing. When I pledged, my sorority had been a local for several years and national for less than two. The local had wonderful women, but hazing was also a part of it. Even after I had been a sister for a while, we did things that would have been considered hazing without us even realizing it until a rep came and told us. The thing about hazing is that many of the people who do it are actually nice people who don't realize how bad it is and not just for the pledges. You can jeopardize the future of your organization. No tradition is worth that.
