Hazing can be either an official or unofficial part of your intake process. Hazing can also be perpetrated on both members and pre-initiates. Hazing can also be consentual or non consentual. It just depends on your organization's definition. I'm not expecting anyone to change their behavior. I recognize the chances of anything going "wrong" with this are slim. But if you really care (I really am not concerned) you could call your group's HQ to see if it's permissible.

Personally, it's not something I'd be comfortable comfortable calling the head of my organization to tell them we were doing.

Personally, I could care less as well.....like I said, it's a personal choice. Either you want to get branded or you don't. I have never heard of pledges getting branded (not saying that it doesn't happen) but that is just from my personal experience. Especially in the NPHC orgs, seeing as you can't even wear letters until after you are initiated/crossed. So when I hear of branding the last thing I think of is hazing. Most of the people I know who are branded couldn't wait for it to get done. They were excited about it!
