The main point for those activities for pledges to do is to get to know the actives and the organization as a whole better. If a pledge isn't even putting forth effort to do the little things like that, well hell, who needs them? If they aren't even around during their dag on pledge period, then what says they'll be around once they get in?
Sorry for the rant, but I'm thinking you really don't know the inside reasons and you're putting your nose where it doesn't belong. Now if you say an active physically hurt a pledge..is when it'll be important.

I disagree 100%.
You are from a local, and I know that locals don't have nationals watching over them. While it shouldn't make a difference and locals shouldn't haze, it does tend to happen more. However, those things WOULD NOT fly in SAI. EVER. They ARE hazing, and hazing DOES NOT have to be physical. We, as a national organization, agree to abide by the rules. And we take it very seriously.
I know that bios and stuff are to get to know the members. But did you ever think that getting to know the members happens more naturally when you all just spend sisterly time together? FORCING new members to do extra work is just stupid.
I don't know all of COncerned's situation, but
1) banging a gong to scare the sh** out of blindfolded pledges,
2) punishing them for not wearing their pledge pins,
3) forcing them to do time consuming things like interviews when they should just be getting to know the members on their own,
doesn't sound like things done out of love. We treat our new girls with more respect than that. And Kayla, those things ARE HAZING AND ARE ILLEGAL. Hazing is never okay.
And just because your sorority thinks those things are okay doesn't give you the right to critisize national GLOs' policies.
