That's kind of my point. So the new chapters will come in and not haze because they are being formed, but what about the long run? It could turn into the same situation as the long standing locals that were once on campus
That is something that needs to be taken into consideration.
Like I also said earlier, there is certainly no guarantee on what can/will/does happen.
However, I do respect the idea that the nationals will come on and keep an anti-hazing stance for a good amount of time, or completely. I would just like to see some kind of situation like this that allows the "hazing locals" to revamp themselves when they see the examples set by the "non-hazing nationals."
In my experience on my campus, the nationals have the trouble with hazing and alcohol restrictions, and the locals are more reserved in that manner. It was different at one point on my campus but times have changed and we have lost so many nationals due to hazing in just the time I've been here. I've been here three years, in that time five nationals have gone under. Three for hazing violations, one for alcohol violations, one due to low numbers. Yet, that is specific to my campus, and they are trying to change that, and some of those nationals are going to be recolonizing soon.
