don't get me wrong, i completely understand the points you guys make, and if i belonged to a sorority that used to haze but now doesn't, and an article came out in a magazine that named my sorority as one that used to haze without clarifying that it no longer does, i'd be upset too, especially if great measures were taken to ensure that it DOESN'T occur anymore. however, there is no "maybe" or "probably" when it comes to the fact that it DOES go on, and it seems like some people already in the greek system whose group doesn't haze try to paint a picture of hazing as some kind of myth when it's clearly not. i do know of a few sororities that haze and i'd never consider or would want to join anyway. my point is, for those of you who don't, have never seen it happen and don't know of any chapters where it goes on - which, sorry, i find a little hard to believe, unless your definition of hazing leaves room for things you personally see as harmless, even though it may actually be demeaning - you tend to send a false message if only for the reason that, aside from what i just said, comes only from not having seen it firsthand. it's like when there's a poll of some kind you know, how they say that you can't get accurate results based soley on people you specifically know and ask, it never gives a true representation. still, i'm very glad that you guys take a firm stand against hazing.
