Hazing question

[UNFSigmaChi]

Ok way back in the Fall '98 when i was pledging we had a couple of the chapter alum that used to hang out with the chapter often.
Well something they used to do was make a pledge light a match and recite things(standard, creed etc.) before the match burned you. This happened to me and several other pledgebro's but none of us think this was hazing cause you could always throw the match away before it burned you, and it always gave you enough time to finish and then some. Like i said, i don't believe i was hazed cause it honestly makes you learn the material better cause the first few times you do it your thinking i gotta get this out quick before i burn myself, but unless you were a total screw up you never did. I think because that happened is why i can recite anything about my organization quickly and accuratly today. Now this hasn't happened to any pledge class since mine, but there are a couple of guys this fall that don't know there stuff so to speak. Not saying i would do this but what do you guys think about it...do you think its hazing. I personally don't, but i'd like some feedback on this. Thanks.
