What was the groups views on alcohol?
What activites were involved with alcohol w consumption?
What was your veiw of your leaders?
1-10 hard were your experiences 1 easiest.
are you still friends w/your group
overall was your experience negitive or positve
I can't force anyone not to answer this, but consider this.

When you fill out the methodology portion of your paper, what do you think your professor's reaction will be? You're dealing with a non-representative sample on this board.

There are a lot of alumni here who were hazed when hazing was not against the rules. Your "study" doesn't seem to account for that.

Nor does it account for the fact that the folks who post on this board are probably not generally representative of the greek community as a whole.

My advice to you? Choose a different topic. Otherwise, there have been several groups who have done some semi-credible research on the subject.
Personally, I am very skeptical of any hazing survey because in most cases, those who do haze are not dumb enough to admit to what amounts in many cases to the commission of a felony.

It's not that it's a personal matter, it's that your methodology is completely unreliable. You haven't given any thought to what your sample here would be comprised of and whether that sample would have any reason to be truthful with you.

Also, people who are not greek could answer with false information.
