I don't believe there is any place for hazing (physical, mental, spiritual abuse) within Tau Kappa Epsilon. I do believe challenging group activities can be good bonding experiences. Most of the "good things" that some people believe come from hazing can also come from well constructed non-having events. For example, Yes, turning a pack of dogs on a pledge class and having them run for their lives can help them bond together. Yes, holding a pledge class group rock climb can do much the same thing---without the abuse.
