Cosign soror, on the whole NPHC "putting up a fight" (they'd betta!
) ! Without the adminstration directly coming out and saying so, we can only imagine "who" (all) the target group is/directed at. The university is taking license to address something that has been a problem with HBGLO's (hell, ALL GLO's), but is going about it in the WRONG manner.
As far as answering PsychTau's question regarding anti-hazing education (*please keep in mind this is solely my own observation and opinion...my .08 cents, not to be taken for the WORD of the NPHC and it's respective orgs*), the NPHC has instituted measures towards the prevention, education, reporting AND reprimanding for said incidents. With this in mind, every NPHC frat./sor. on campus is well aware of what hazing is defined as (and in some cases, more specifically financial, mental, physical, emotional, etc. types of hazing), so this is not to be taken as a situation where they "didn't know" or miscontrued their actions (which is why I said before that the administration/powers that be needed to get on the chapter's case, NOT the entire local governing body!). And though I am not entirely educated regarding the IFC and NPC policies on hazing, observing the NPC groups on my campus, they too have dealt with incidents of hazing in their sister chapters/national governing councils and are well aware of how it's defined, dealty with, etc. So, no,
I do not think there needs to be a seperate workshop. This is basically because outside of the University's control, there are things instituted for consideration of hazing. It's the respective schools obligation to educate ALL Greeks, regardless of historical affiliation to reinforce the education they've recieved/been taught by their governing councils, NOT to target any one group for the sake of "defining/seeing" hazing. Hazing is wrong, no matter how you try to cut it. And both sides are well aware and have been told/warned/reprimanded/whatever. They are adults (usually) and can fully comprehend someone telling them what they willl and will not stand for.
I know this is long, but I felt I needed to say it...

ETA: I, too, am interested in what your findings were, and also to ask "What would you suggest, from a scholarly standpoint"?
