Does anyone know of a referenced case where an NIC Fraternity (which isn't also in the NPHC) or an NPC sorority was nailed for hazing because of short distance physical abuse.
Any truly psychological cases of hazing for any of the Fraternities?

I, with the help of several other people, have been keeping track of all charter revocations (that we hear about) in a stickied thread in this forum. The information there, of course, is probably not comprehensive as we're just relying on individuals to report cases they hear about, but it might be a good place to start.
If you really want to start to develop a sense for this stuff, I invite you to go back into the older threads on this forum and start compiling data in the way we've been doing in the charter revocations thread. Again, you're not going to get anything publishable, but if you want to get a good sense of what has been going on, that'd be where to start.
If your school's library has access to Lexis Nexis, you might consider doing a news article search for "hazing" and maybe type in a string of 'or' searches for greek letters, e.g.. "hazing" & alpha beta gamma delta...." That'd be better.
Or you can continue to talk about it in theory, just be aware that without concrete data, the discussion is of very little value as you're just regurgitating stereotypes and apparently expecting us to confirm those stereotypes as fact. Ain't gonna happen.
If you want to pursue this research and discuss it here, that could be a great thread. In fact, if you can compile previous years' data in the same way we're doing 2009-2010, I'll stick it to the top of the forum (assuming you also allow some sort of link to each incident report so it can be verified).
