Interviewing Actives = hazing???
Hey all,
I was just curious what you all thought of this. It is requirement in our sorority for all new members to "interview" all of the active sisters in the house and about 3-5 alumni sisters. Basically, a NM writes a small autobiography about herself that the actives will read and then she will in turn ask the active/alum about 5 questions about hobbies, what their best memory in the house is, what their future goals are, etc. The interview is complete when the active/alum signs her interview page (all the questions go in a book for the NM to keep). It is a way for actives and NMs to get to know one another. The entire NM class has to interview all actives/alum before they can be initiated (as well as take tests, go to events, etc.)
BUT since anything can be considered hazing these days and requiring NMs to get signatures from actives can fall under that category, have we been barking up the hazing tree, so to speak?
On the positive side, I know something intriguing about each one of my sisters and I personally think it is a great idea as long as it isn't made into something demeaning.
What do you all think?
FYI- we are associate members of NPC
