You completely missed James' point.

I've never seen it stated that way...people say that ANYTHING that separates the pledges and actives is hazing. Think of it in geometry proof form.
A. Hazing = anything that separates NMs and sisters - given
B. NMs are required to learn history etc etc - given
C. NMs have separate meetings to learn history - given
D. Making NMs learn history is hazing - substitution
As I mentioned before, we (briefly) had a NM who pointed out that the anti-hazing workshop was hazing. According to this definition, she was right. It was mandatory, and actives didn't have to attend it.
We'll never come to a solution with this until everyone sits down and SPELLS OUT what is and what isn't, and WHY it is hazing. The FIPG definitiion and most groups' definitions right now have far too much "wiggle room."
