There is a major liability issue at hand here if this does not get reported. As the OP said, there has been nothing life threatening UNLESS SOMETHING GOES TERRIBLY WRONG. Don't wait for something to go wrong. The fact that there is hazing going on puts not only the chapter at risk of liability, but also the members. There are situations where the hazers ended up doing jail time. Is that worth ignoring the situation? No one plans for something to go terribly wrong, but these things do and have happened. The hazing needs to stop NOW. National MUST be made aware of the situation. If it is taken care of internally, it is possible for national to keep the chapter open while taking care of the situation. If they are not made aware of the situation and something does go wrong, not only will your school shut you down, National will back them up and you can be sure that there will be something in the media which will hurt the entire organization. The hazing may only involve one chapter of less than 100 people, but it can hurt an entire organization with thousands of thousands of proud members.
