Well, it's a combination of both, I think. I know - I personally don't think just quizzing itself is hazing. BUT some groups consider quizzing hazing. We do not allow quizzing. You'd be surprised at what is considered hazing (at least I was anyways when I read some of the guidelines). If her nat'ls requires a test, then I'm sure that it's not the quizzing that's the issue. But like I said, with some organizations, it could be.
It's just good practice to advise against quizzing...for this very reason. One New Member Educator will start with the quizzes, then the new one will come in and say "Okay, with this week's quiz you have to get 5 questions right." Well, what happens if someone doesn't get those 5 questions? She/He is going to stress out about it and it could just snowball into this huge issue. Does that make sense?
