My sorority, also, is not only nationally non-hazing, my chapter was also. And that is the truth. If it wasn't, I wouldn't bother posting. I would just not say anything. I think you have every right to be concerned about hazing, as it is a violation of your human dignity.
This does not mean I don't know people who have had to do utterly ridiculous and degrading things to join an organization. Many feel this increases your commitment to the organization. There was a poster (a person who posts, not the big pieces of paper with pictures on them) who said she had to wear depends diapers for 24 hours and not go to the bathroom. I am sorry if I offend, but that is just downright ridiculous. When it comes to true hazing (and I don't mean harmless scavenger hunts and interviews), I would hope you could walk away from an organization that makes such a tasteless joke out of their pledge (new member) period.
