NPHC Traditions and Practices that annoy you

Some of us have been through it ourselves, observed it, been involved in it, so the why's are a bit more clear to us whether we agree with it or not.

Let me clarify. My reference to gang mentality was not an absolute as the cause of hazing. In the positions I have had in Delta--nationally, regionally, collegiate advisor, hazing investigator, etc.--I fully understand hazing as it is today. And hazing today is really no different than hazing of yesteryear. In fact it is the yesteryears' going ons that allowed our groups to specifically define what is hazing in our codes of conduct.

And when MIP'd people say on public message boards that they have been through it..., all I can do is shake my head.

And let me just clarify that by "newer heads" I just mean those that are younger than the more seasoned members like yourself. I was initiated back in '93 when MIP was pretty much just a title and in reality not many took it seriously. Today my outlook on things is completely different but then I am no longer an undergrad.
