Some alumni actually experienced many of the things that would be defined as hazing in 2003. Does that mean they don't have dignity and self-respect? I don't think so. I have mentioned a friend who got up and left another NPC sorority that she was pledging when they hazed her. I think that she would have been a good sister. The pledges who stayed and experienced hazing also became good sisters. Some hazing was nonsense, some was a pain in the neck, and some was downright dangerous. I am not defending hazing by any means. I agree with shadokat's previous posts on the subject in this thread. I just disagree with describing people who have been hazed as lacking self-respect and dignity.
