Hazing IS the ultimate sin in greek life.
GC has taught a lot of us here the bigger world of greek life. We have an overwhelming amount of information given to us on this site by our peers.
In the greek world, hazing IS pretty much the ultimate sin. It's something that's given us all a bad rap, regardless of whether or not we or our individuals chapters haze or hazed. It's a stereotype that we have to fight everyday as Greeks.
If a chapter is hazing, they SHOULD be shut down. Or at the very least the offending individuals should be resigned and the chapter put on probation.
Please forgive me for not knowing more about you, but judging from your screenname i'm guessing that you're not a member of a national fraternity? You likely don't have any rules or guidelines to follow like NPC sororities, NIC fraternities, etc. Those rules we're created just for kicks. There are also state and local laws regarding hazing, and i'm betting your school has some regulations as well.
The thing about hazing, too, is that you can't just say, oh, we're going to just limit it to yelling at them, etc. If you allow anything at all, there's always going to be someone pushing for more, and it escalates further and further.
