Is making a New Associate Class work together, Study, Have meetings Learn about your history hazing? In some circles YES! It is BS! If they do not want to join and have to learn to study and make gardes to graduate, or learn the History of your Org. and Local then be gone damn spot!

I agree with this 100%. I don't understand some of the things that are considered hazing. What is the point of pledging if you dont want to learn info and history?! Obviously it's going to be time consuming.
I have to say although my organization does a lot of what was mentioned above, we do go to the extreme with a few things. Our new members have to meet everyday for meetings and to learn new information. Yes it's a pain in the ass, but as I look back on it it's very well worth it. I know where all my sisters are from, and I feel proud to say that outloud. But in aspect, why is that considered hazing? Our national organization's pledge process is 6-8 weeks, however, I pledged for 11 weeks. We had more grils than normal, and the sisters wanted to make sure we knew our information for the test. That too, would be considered hazing.
I just don't understand why a lot of simple things are considered hazing, when at the sme time hardcore paddling and throwing up from too much beer can be in the same category.
