I'm sorry, but are you serious? Not only the MTV sorority life show, but I personally know of people in 'multicultural' sororities who have been hazed i.e. made to drink until they threw up and forced to stay up all night.

I guess everyone's definition is really different...which may be the problem with this entire thread. I think the first step would be to get someone to give a universal definition of hazing. In my experience hazing is doing anything that active or older members of the organization do not participate in, or things that make the indivual uncomfortable with. Hazing includes "less serious" activities such as interviews, tests, scavenger hunts, trust walks.........honestly i think some of it is stupid, and can make pledging kind of boring without....but i also know the value in anti-hazing policies because not every new member would have the courage to say no to activities they didn't want to do.

Anyway getting on with it, I'm sorry but I assume all org's haze at least a little...it's just hard to avoid. I mean I know that even NPC groups who can get in trouble pretty easily still haze...honestly people it's retarded for everyone to be "ohhhh MY org or MY group of org's (NPC, NIC, NPHC) doesn't haze but the others do".

I guess it's just my two cents.
