Hazing?

[DG515]

I've got a technical question......
I was discussing with someone about an event that happened and they mentioned that they was called into an "emergancy" meeting with honor board (sometimes referred to by other GLO's as "standards") held in a darkened room. I asked them if there were people taking minutes and they replied "I don't recall that there was....I'm almost 100% certian that there wasn't" They told me that therein, they were spoken to in a very condensending voice by some of the members of our honor board....unfortunatly that's about all the details they could give out.....

This person that I was speaking with told me that that was considered hazing....I had never really thought of that in that way, but the more I think about it, the more I think it could be considered hazing....they expressed that they were confused due to the fact that they had been informed of the reasons they were having the meeting a mere 20 minutes before hand. Then she was taken into the meeting held in a darkened room and belittled. For what it's worth she is an initated member, and has been for over a year now.

I don't know...what are you $0.02??? Even if it is hazing, how could she handle it? If she was hazed, she was being hazed by the people that handle the problems that arise......it'd be like turning in a cop to themselves.....

There should be advisors that she could talk to about the incident if she can't discuss it with the officers involved. If the advisors were involved, then there should be some sort of regional officer that oversees the operations of the chapter. Even if this was a 'standards board' conference, the circumstances surrounding it and how it was conducted sound inappropriate.
