Hazing has mixed results in the greek system. First we need to define hazing. I don't for one second buy that pussy-ass definition of hazing given to us these days that it's "Forcing anyone to do anything they are not willing to do. Hazing in the sense of the word most people think of it as is bufoonary such as forcing pledges to drink themselves retarded, or to make them do nude arobics. Anyone may agree that these forms of hazing are the extreme and counter-pruductive.

I am definately a proponent of the theory that some people NEED to be hazed; It can instill respect for their superiors in them, and/or make them understand they are being punished for something they did wrong. Some people just need a beeting that their parents were too ashamed to give them.

Some people already join with these qualities in an extent that is satisfactory or superior to what is required. Hazing them is a moot point and can actually draw them away from the system.

I'm ranting. So to post a final thought:
I think Hazing that is a tradition in houses can produce the desired results because the harmful practices have been weeded out. New chapters should be wary of starting a hazing procedure.
