You people have the same problem a lot of Greeks and non greeks both have. You cannot distinguish the difference between pledging and hazing. Pledging is a process with a pre planned beginning and end. Pledging involves several factors. Making sure the plegdes have humbled themselves enough to learn about the fraternity and it's memembers (i.e. history and goals, objectives). Insuring the pledges bond with both other pledges and people already in the fratenity/soroity they hope to join.
Hazing is not a process. It is not planned and their is no moral or underlying factor behind it other than revenge or someone getting their rocks off. The problem occurs when you have people who pledge but did not understand their pledge process. No one every explained to that person the intricate planning and care that went into their pledge process and should go in every pledge process. As a result of this you get a lot of greeks out there who know how haze crap out of someone but sadly know nothing about pledging.
