Actually, kddani, Psi Upsilon is a national fraternity. But I agree with everything else you said.

We, as Greeks, need to start being responsible. And when we haze, we are putting our members at risk for injury and putting our HQ (and sometimes individual members too) at risk for a lawsuit. Psi U has less than 30 active chapters -- that means not a lot of money is coming in, and if there isn't a lot of money, one lawsuit could easily wipe out the entire organization. Even if you're not "hurting" your pledges, an overly rigorous pledge program causes grades to go down, involvement outside of the fraternity to suffer, and friendships outside of the fraternity to suffer. Those are all missed chances to capitalize on showing people what the Greek system is really supposed to be about. Brotherhood and sisterhood are important, but not at the expense of everything else.
