Is Alpha Gamma Delta Hazing?

[cootiequeen]

my sister is pledging alpha gamma delta and has to take tests. I asked her, "what if you don't take it?"

she said, "we have to." and then she got mad and yelled at me.

I'm in a sorority where there is no hazing, and I mean NO HAZING. As a New Member, you have no responsibilities other than attending a weekly meeting in which you learn about the history and traditions of our sorority. In fact, every week each new member gets a gift from a "secret sister".

To me, forcing a new member to do anything they don't feel comfortable doing is hazing. Before we pin them, we tell them exactly what they are expected to do -- go to a meeting once a week and get presents. They aren't even required to go to our chapter meeting, though it is encouraged.

So any sorority that says they don't haze, and then makes their members carry binders, get signatures, take tests, do projects, etc. is full of crapola, in my opinion.
