Uhh, no...the International Fraternity does not have a long history of hazing. In fact, Pi Kappa Alpha was the first fraternity to abolish hazing way back in like 1870 or something.

I brought these particular posts back up because after KEPike originally stated that the rumor I heard wasn't true I haven't pushed the issue any further. I haven't accused him of lying, I haven't posted any more rumors, in fact-I've
barely posted anything since (with the exception of responding to questions that I was asked in reference to the rumor I heard.) And its not like I've insisted what I heard was true, it was a rumor that I asked about & as soon as someone said it wasn't true I let it go.
If you don't want to have these kinds of conversations I'd suggest not visiting this particular forum that is riddled with hazing incidents/deaths/etc. This is where a lot of facts & rumors & lies & misunderstandings about organizations are posted.
As far as my organization goes, of course I'd want to help dispel any rumors people have heard, but if I don't know of the rumors I wouldn't know to make sure to tell them the truth. Its really best for people to post their misunderstandings so that hopefully someone will set them straight. God knows how many other people had heard the same rumor I did & because I'm not a wimp I went ahead & posted about it & now they, like me, understand that its not true.
