The definition that I understand was given to me in laymen's terms.....
Supposedly, the "pledges" look up to you, b/c you have something that they want, and would therefore do ANYTHING to achieve it. This makes them vulnerable to anything whether it be as simple as running an errand, or as degrating as running naked around campus.
But back to my point, "hazing"(which i am for, but thats another topic)is considered (at least where I am)by most all related officials as ANYTHING a pledge does...again, be as simple as a favor..ie..driving a drunk active home, running to the store to pick up some food, even dressing up on certain days at the request of the actives...
I am a firm believer in hazing, I as well as almost every other fraternity member have personally endured some form, and if youre reading this, youre still alive. The laws restricting it should be looked at and in some cases revised. I know that there is someone out there who'll read this and agree that the things we as greek members endured to become such, as embarrassing as they may be were memorable. To all the "pledges" who read this, pledgeship can be described as "bittersweet", its something you will remember the rest of your life and laugh about the day you go active. To coin a phrase that my "bigbrother" said to me...."It's the funnest thing you never want to do again."
