If it is asking them to run arends and little things, it was kinda harsh but anytime anyone hazes, they take a chance of getting caught. If it was severe, then she deserved it totally. There should be a "NO TOLERANCE" policy for every organization. I commend you for taking swift action. It's just like under age drinking. One beer might not be a whole lot, but the punishment is still severe whether you drink one or 12. Letting the girl get away with the hazing would have been disasterous. Not only would they have lost the whole pledge class, but they would have lost stature on campus and possibly the whole chapter. Letting one person get away with hazing means that more might get away with it. . .and that is just flat out wrong.
