James, I agree with you on the tone of this thread. I sincerely doubt there was legitimate hazing involved -- from what I seen on my campus and what I've read about this situation, the little sisters were probably willing participants. And it shouldn't come as a surprise that many college students drink alcohol. And I don't think it should even surprise most people that on many campuses, alcohol is included in events like this. (As Michelle said earlier, it wasn't the first time a Stanford sorority had done something like that, simply the first time a group had gotten caught.)
BUT I think that there is a major difference between most national fraternities and most NPC sororities. I do agree with you that the fraternities seem to be mostly about the whole "Do what you do, just don't get caught" angle -- at least moreso than the sororities. However, from my dealings with sororities I've noticed that many of them -- and Tri Delta especially -- is definitely not just "posturing" on this front.
