I'm not quite sure what took place with you (or if it took place with you personally), but anything outside of Nationals' MIP guidelines is considered hazing and is illegal and punishable by law. When you willingly participate in activities of this nature, you then are just as guilty as the "hazers". Unless Nationals accepts you, you are really not considered a member and should not behave as such.
If something like this happened to you, you have my deepest sympathy, but my advice would be find out what the technicality was, work to correct it, and try again next year.
Good luck in your endeavors.
