Thats the point I am making.

You cannot compare this event with branding. Jamaica and raves have nothing to do with Beta. Someone getting a brand with Beta Theta Pi obviously involves Beta. Particularly because I would imagine, in most cases, it's difficult to brand yourself. And somehow I doubt that the majority of brands are done by legit tattoo/body modification parlors. If a brother is branding a brother or pledge, or a pledge is branding a pledge, how can Beta not be somewhat implicated?
ktsnake, I agree with you. Really, really good risk management means not only making sure you're not breaking the law, but not doing anything that would make anyone THINK you're breaking the law. I wouldn't want to call my national office and tell them that we were branding each other, either. Not because of hazing laws, but because I actually care about the reputation of my chapter.
