Here is another question. In Kappa Delta, all pledges (I'm sorry, when I was in college they were pledges and I just can't change wha tI call them!) and sisters were to stand upon an Alumna entering the room. Now, I see no problem with this at all, it is a display of respect for those who came before you (much like in the military, how they salute). However, might some see this as hazing?
In our hazing policy which includes this statement (paraphrased)
-- hazing is any situation that is created intentionally or uninentionally that creates an uncomfortable situation...

I could see how liberally interpretted you could say requiring anything of your members could be hazing... But that just wouldn't fly.

It's a house rule for us to stand when a lady enters a room. In my opinion, it's not hazing... Would my opinion stand up in court? It has yet to be seen.
