And, no, beanies did not go out of style in the non-Greek and Greek worlds.
Beanie = embarrassing attire = hazing
Pledge pin = not embarrassing attire = not hazing

I'm not certain which part you are disagreeing with, that a beanie is embarrassing, or that embarrassing attire is hazing. In any case, it's not an argument I'd like to have with my dean of students.

(NB: I am talking specifically about the felt beanie-type things shown in the pics of Mu Theta.)
