It never occurred to me that a neophyte presentation was an "essential" part to being Greek, but best believe I've met my share of Greeks who think it's odd at best and suspect at worst my line didn't have one. It's not a huge thing here but elsewhere, it's absolutely a must (socially speaking, anyway).
So again, I can see how this student, even though she talked too much, felt like these things were necessary, especially if it's presented as such.

I hear you but we NPHCers can discuss that until we are crimson (
) in the face and non-NPHCers aren't a central part of that discussion. Non-NPHCers are especially not a central part of that discussion if non-NPHCers will make assumptions that could possibly result in a chapter getting in trouble.
This thread is really not about traditions and what makes a "real XYZ" . This thread is about assuming a chapter is involved in unsafe, banned, and illegal activities; and assuming that a student who is anxious to learn certain traditions outside of an official timeline is "happily hazed".
