I said I wasn't going to say anything, BUT it has come obvious that some people are not realizing some things.
The definition of term "hazing" is relative to your organization. Things that are defined as hazing by (examples only) Phi Mu, Alpha Sigma Kappa, or Delta Delta Delta MAY NOT be hazing to Kappa Kappa Gamma, Delta Sigma Theta or Alpha Chi Omega and vice versa. So for one to come on any message board, read a brief snippit of what one person describes as part of their pledge/new member/associate member/whatever your organization calls it process and admonish it as "hazing" is ignorant at best. It is ignorant of the FACT that not every organization does everything the same way as you & those in your little bubble do. Yes, there are somethings that are OBVIOUSLY hazing. But for the LIFE of me, I CANNOT understand what part of wearing a pin during a pledge process is hazing.
