I'm sure at some point someone has. I'm sure people have also compared hazing with sponsoring homecoming candidates (putting women on display to be unfavorably judged by men); intramurals or Greek week (athletic activity beyond normal everyday exercise); and living in the house (forced constant interaction with members).

When rush is a huge production with tons of rushees as it is at this school, I'm wagering that the women would rather do it this way than drag it out for a month. If they hated it too much, they could change the schedule. Panhellenic is the ones who decide on it, not the national orgs, the school administration or adult advisors/volunteers.

P.S. We are old. We do not remember how you can go on adrenaline for as long as you can at ages 18-21.
