I don't know how many times I have to say this...DRY PLEDGING IS HAZING. As would be not allowing pledges to smoke, or drive, or do anything else that the laws of the state/town/country deem legal for their age.

You know what else is hazing? Mandatory study hours for pledges. How many colleges/universities crack down on that? None that I know of.
I'm not sure what you're arguing but I'm willing to bet that almost every single greek organization in the country has at one point or another hazed their pledges. It may go unnoticed or it may be unintentional, but there is a certain degree of hazing in every education process. Some haze more than others and some haze worse than others.
I'm not condoning hazing, but in my opinion, people need to stop being so naive about it. It happens...even on the most minute of scales.
