wow, i know i'm just adding what many of us have said already - there is no such thing as "good" hazing. those interviews you've all been talking about? we do those in our new member education. we're all there, new and initiated sisters, and we all take turns talking about ourselves, why we're there, our favorite things... stuff like that. it's not mandatory or anything, it's just a fun part of all the learning we do. we also do little activities like that at rush parties so we can learn if we are right for the girl and if she's right for us.
and by the way, ASA nationals does not condone hazing of any kind. i know we're not alone in that either. i was NOT hazed, i never felt pushed into anything, and i would NEVER try to push a new or old sister into something she didn't want to do.
there is an archaic custom that a lot of our alumnae use at formals and such, called "scrolling." basically if the older sister, the one with the lower "scroll number," tells you to do something, you are supposed to do it... that is still hazing, and it's wrong. we discussed it once and decided we didn't want any part of it, and from my class on, we don't do anything they "scroll" us to do - what are they going to do? we're active, they aren't... so honestly, there's no point in participating in something so silly.
hope i didn't upset anyone,
heather
