I hear you TrueGreekLove and Gina-lynn. The sad thing about it TrueGreekLove is I think what you suggested is exactly what will have to happen for people to understand they must follow the rules.
My personal opinion, I don't think my sorority or any other organization would allow hazing to destroy the sorority as a whole. However, I do believe my sorority would do something as drastic as say - eliminating the undergraduate process to ensure future livelihood of the sorority. I'm sure some of you will say that I'm truly out to lunch especially given undergrad is where it all began. But that is my opinion. Do you keep the 1000 lb weight and allow the entire ship to sink? Or do you throw the weight overboard and keep moving? Not to suggest that undergrad chapters are dead weight, I was initiated undergrad and would be very upset if undergrad were eliminated. On the other hand, I don't want to see a 92 year legacy reduced to a memory either.
Another side note, I'm sure there were those that say 15 years or so ago would have never thought that above ground pledging would not officially be part of the undergrad process...
