Intimidation of any form, whether it's between pledges and actives, pledges and pledges, or actives and actives -- it's hazing.
NPC defines hazing as:
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
If AGD really sat its new members down in a circle, and then
told them how to vote, and then singled out Lumpkin -- that is hazing!!
Assuming the accusations about intimidation against Alabama's XO and AGD chapters are true, they certainly would be in violation of the NPC policy on hazing.
