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.

I'm not talking the little crap like no more "scavenger hunts" and events along those lines. Hazing means that you are uncomfortable, endangered or feel demeaned by a situation. If your friend left because she felt that way, good for her. If the other pledges didn't feel that way, good for them. If they did feel that way and didn't speak up, that's their fault.
