What happened?

When I first saw your post, I thought hazing still happens?!!? I am not condoning hazing in anyway. I thought of the rumor mill of hazing activities, not the umbrella of categories that actually fall under hazing.

Then I read these articles, it is truly sad that after almost 100 years the chapter is being suspended. There is no legal action being taken, no one was expelled from campus. So, this made me wonder what happened. It obviously does not sound like the hazing myths and rumors that non-Greeks think of when they hear the word hazing.

The national representative said the women made poor choices, but had the best intentions at heart.
That quote made me curious about what was considered hazing. I understand the safety issues with a lot of precautions (i.e. scavenger hunt) or the emotional outcomes of telling NMs they cannot wear letter- when they are members when they accept the bid. I'm just saying it is very sad that this chapter had their charter suspended for not taking these precautions seriously.
