Hazing types by group type.

[naraht]

I was reading the book "Black Greek Haze" when I realized how completely different hazing events are between the NIC Fraternities (Hist White) and the NPHC Fraternities (Hist Black). (Yes, I know that some of the NPHC fraternities have joined NIC as well, their traditions are still related to their fellow NPHC fraternities.)

IMO, Hazing in NIC fraternities more likely than not involves alcohol, if it doesn't involve alcohol, it involves doing something gross, where the brothers are probably at least a body length away.

OTOH, Hazing in NPHC fraternities more likely than not involves physical contact either directly or at short distance and is likely to be something causing physical damage to the body through the skin.

Extending this on, I *think* that NPC (Hist White Sororities) would be much more psychological, with one reason that it might be exposed being a suicide.

As for the NPHC sororities, I *really* don't know if they are closer to the NPHC fraternities or the NPC sororities. The death in the ocean in Los Angeles doesn't quite seem to fit into either category nicely.

My guess is that the NALFO fraternities and sororities would be closer to the NPHC fraternities and sororities.
