I can say that not all nationals tow the official line all the time. Before we became a local (which is within my memory, so this isn't heresay) we were ENCOURAGED to haze, unofficially. Officially, it was very bad, very bad indeed to haze. Unofficially....a rep from our national told us, and I quote, "Put those boys in a room with a couple bottles of tequila and don't let them out 'till it's gone."
National policies and national rules are only good while the NATIONAL actually enforces them....otherwise all they do is confuse and irritate the undergrads.
