I don't know if I'm at liberty to say if it's hazing or not. A lot of people have their opinions on how far is TOO far, and I'm not really up for debate anyway.

Still, my chapter understands that everything done for ritual purposes goes by the book. When our chapter was colonized we had to get approval from nationals to wear muumuu (traditional Hawaiian female attire) for special events instead of white dresses that the rest of the chapter wears. We do ritual that all chapters do (I hope!)according to what is set forth by nationals. Again, I'm not telling you what to do, but you might think twice about the match procedure.

NUPE-is it okay for him to discuss the match lighting thing if it's not included in national fraternity ritual? Or is it because it's considered chapter ritual? I'm confusing myself I think.
