I think I've been on my "we've taken anti-hazing policies too far" soap box before about wearing letters, if I remember correctly.
I certainly don't think an individual or group should ever do anything to cause harm or humiliation, but a group should be able to get crowns signed, require interviews, enter a new member team in an event, require people to pass tests on the organization, etc.
I can see why draconian blanket policies are easiest because it leaves no room for doubt or error, but the crown tradition sounds like it could be used beautifully to build sisterhood, rather than abusively to put new members through the ringer, but since it has the potential for making the new members feel that they have to do something they don't want to do, it gets discontinued.
It is a loss of a tradition that probably did allow new members to get to know everyone.
