Is making a pledge sing hazing?

I guess this goes back to the original topic, but I don't think that asking pledges to sing is hazing. During my pledge period when we went serenading, our new member mom told me we didn't have to sing if we weren't comfortable doing so.

Now, our Greek Life office "strongly discourages" serenading, because it can be construed as hazing. It makes me really sad, because serenading was one of the best memories I have from my pledge period. Oh well, what can you do. Like Kevin said, better safe than sorry.
