Most have the perception that we don't do much anyway- and a hazing case just adds to another negative perception about Greek letter organizations!

Actually, most lawsuits have been alcohol related. When hazing and alcohol are combined, you're looking for trouble. But as far as 'dry hazing events' go, I can't really think of too many that have caused claims against our organizations (at least in the years I've been reading this board).
It seems to me that alcohol is a much larger liability than hazing is unless it's coupled with hazing.
Just for the sake of argument, especially for those who did go through more 'traditional' houses, was alcohol something that was present in your pledge program?
