I was going to say the same thing. If not allowing first semester freshman to pledge stopped or decreased hazing, then the NPHC groups wouldn't have hazing issues, but we do just like everyone else. Like sigmagrrl (not to pick on you), there are some that want to belong SO BADLY that they will allow anything to happen, and that wanting to belong can occur at any age. I've talked to some "master hazers" (I'm talking suspeneded several times, just short of being expelled hazers) and they said 99% of why they haze is just to see how far someone will let them go.
