Having a chapter close is not the worst thing that can happen. If you are proud of your GLO, you would want chapters that don't life up to its name to be punished. Sure, it's your chapter too, but take the moral high road. If you're charged with hazing (even as part of a group) you all go down. If you STOP the hazing, whether or not you're acknowledged, you know you did the right thing.

DGTess, her chapter did not "have a reputation for hazing". At least not that the OP mentioned. I would imagine that any normal 18-22 yr old girl would not join a chapter she knew would be hazing.
She said the hazing started during the pledge process.
And she and her new member class DID try to take the high road by trying to change the new member program and how the chapter operated during that process. They went up against older members and even alums that wanted things to stay the same to "protect the traditions" and were unsuccessful.
So do us a favor and re-read the thread before you write another post that doesn't make any sense.
The OP & her pledge class KNEW that hazing wasn't right, and they did try to change it... unfortunately, they were unsuccessful, and thus the chapter is being closed.
