There's the big scary hazing that you see on TV, that's really rare because when it happens, people usually get caught and chapters get shut down.
There's smaller hazing that is
slightly more common and less likely to get caught. It's also far less dangerous although still disallowed by the Inter/national sororities.
But the best defense against hazing is you. Never agree to do something you're not comfortable with. I never once dealt with real hazing as an active and only a couple of times ran across things could have been called hazing even if they weren't intended that way and no participant was upset.
Don't go into recruitment looking at all of these girls as potential hazers, look at them as potential sisters.
