Just until someone more NPC familiar (eg with a copy of the Green Book aka NPC Manual of Information - 13th Edition, thanks npcwomen.org or very well versed in such things) comes along here's a quick interim answer.
http://www.npcwomen.org/policies/p_resolutions.php, reveals that the NPC policy has been amended often the most recent amendment is 1997 and provides that (abridged version on website only) - Current Resolution:
Hazing is defined as any action or situation with or without consent which recklessly, intentionally or unintentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student, or creates risk of injury, or causes discomfort, embarrassment, harassment or ridicule or which willfully destroys or removes public or private property for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in a chapter or colony of an NPC member fraternity. All member groups will affirm their policies denouncing hazing and inform their membership of this NPC position denouncing hazing through mailings and through their inter/national magazines.
As it is a resolution, I would seek guidance from those who know, whether or not or to the extent this applies as
"Resolutions and recommendations differ from the Unanimous Agreements in that they may not be mandatory. An effective Panhellenic should adopt and implement the resolutions and recommendations that are relevant to the efficient operations of the organization.
