This should be engraved in 10" letters in ever chapter house, suite, or whatever!
I also liked lyrica9's quote, from wherever it came.
I've been used as an example as someone who was hazed, yet the very nastiest thing I can remember being forced to do was polishing the silver. We did horrible things like answering phones, going on scavenger hunts, and getting pledge books signed (read: "I really want to meet ___ the Delt, will you assign me to interview him?"). Most of what our pledge tasks were about was getting to know the sisters and how to become a good sister yourself.
BUT! Of course, there are the ones who think pledges should take the place of housekeepers, or worse, and
those idiots are the ones who ruin it for everyone.
Each GLO HQ takes a long time to go over exactly what they consider hazing and what they don't. When you accept a bid from that GLO, you accept their policy - no options. So, as responsible Greeks, we must take a stand against hazing in ANY form, and try not to falsely glamorize to a New Member something that you wouldn't do yourself.
