I thought the response of many men's groups in the 90s of changing to new programming was in response to and to prevent hazing and RM issues, and that this isn't just a SigEp thing.

I'm not saying that a "traditional" chapter is more likely to haze, I'm just noticing that the chapters of SigEp that have more RM issues have not been BMP. I highly respect that SigEp HQ does not play around with RM issues though.
Yeah that is weird, I agree... I wouldn't think any young chapters would have RM issues due to hazing. But then again, I guess it depends on the campus climate and whatever chapter helped establish the FAU chapter. Just because a chapter is BM doesn't mean they follow it more than what pleases Nationals on paper.

The pledge model chapters are more likely to have RM issues related to hazing, though.
