I believe we're all missing the point - it is not the activities/methods themselves that can truly be described as "hazing" - remember, in it's most essential form, hazing is a form of giving power at the expense of others - I keep hearing about this "scavenger hunt" being hazing - I wish someone would provide more information - I seriously doubt a membership scavenger hunt in of itself is hazing - there has to be something more to it, the way in which it was carried out, or the "items" that had to be scavenged...
I'm also curious as to the posts of members who will not actively talk about their experiences...why is that? What is so secret about hazing? Did you take an oath in your initiation to protect the hazing secrets? Really? Is this what your fraternity's founders really have in mind when they started your organization? If you can't tie hazing practices to the ideals of your organization, then why are they so important? How do they contribute to the overall goal of your organization? Educate me...
