I'm going to agree with this. I think we can all admit that NPHC organizations do have a problem with hazing, and Rudey's point that there are some members out there perpetuating the "if you didn't get hazed, you're not worthy" mindset is true. But to pretend that this is a problem and an attitude unique to NPHC organizations? Give me a break. From my experience, it is just as prevalent among many NIC fraternities (and to a lesser extent the NPC sororities). If you search through this forum, I'd guess that far and away the NIC fraternity hazing incidents outnumber the NPHC ones. At least the visible incidents, that is -- but that's another issue entirely.
Come on, you guys, let's not act so high and mighty. No matter what organization you're associated with -- NPC, NIC, NPHC, NALFO -- there are chapters of your group that haze. No matter what your HQ's policy says. Let's not try to shove this problem off on one group like it's only their issue to deal with. We as Greeks are all susceptible to hazing, and we all need to work on finding solutions.
