james,
i'm not really a proponent or detractor of the pronciple of hazing itself. you are, however, a bit presumptuous in saying that non-hazing groups have a lower level of involvement. the commitment to my chapter by the undergrads has increased 10-fold since the cecession of hazing, in the mid 90's. since i've graduated, i've visited a lot of chapters that have recently evolved from pretty stern hazing to a time-intensive candidate period, and the men have benefited more than i could have ever imagined from stressing fraternal work, instead of hazing focused on creating psychological and physical stress.
