It's still hazing. When they become members instead of pledging, hazing doesn't magically disappear. Things like that are against LXA policy because it creates separation of classes. I'm not saying either way is right or wrong, just saying it isn't any less against the rules once they become members. It's just like hazing isn't limited to greeks. It happens in sports, military, clubs, and even high school. At my high school, after Dazed and confused came out, they started doing that stuff to the incoming freshmen. I'm not sure what they do now, but I know my cousin snuck home after the last day of school so he wouldn't "get it" Luckily, he lives accross the road from the school.
