IMO, Hazing in NIC fraternities more likely than not involves alcohol, if it doesn't involve alcohol, it involves doing something gross, where the brothers are probably at least a body length away.
OTOH, Hazing in NPHC fraternities more likely than not involves physical contact either directly or at short distance and is likely to be something causing physical damage to the body through the skin.
Extending this on, I *think* that NPC (Hist White Sororities) would be much more psychological, with one reason that it might be exposed being a suicide.
As for the NPHC sororities, I *really* don't know if they are closer to the NPHC fraternities or the NPC sororities. The death in the ocean in Los Angeles doesn't quite seem to fit into either category nicely.
My guess is that the NALFO fraternities and sororities would be closer to the NPHC fraternities and sororities.

I think you are probably right about any hazing done in NPC groups likely being psychological. Hopefully very little of this is going on since we try to instill in our chapters an environment of love and respect for our new members. As for the suicide....I can't remember seeing any reports of suicides in NPC new member groups. I think more likely, hazing would be reported to the university by a parent, roommate or friend.
