The Delta Profile: Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., was founded on January 13, 1913 at Howard University by 22 undergraduate women. These young women wanted to use their collective strength to promote academic excellence and to provide assistance to persons in need.
How is hazing promoting the message of founders? Hazing doesn't promote academic excellence, and I would consider pledges that are hazed to be the persons in need of some assistance.
I'm just curious as to how hazing promotes the outstanding purpose of such a great organization. I'm not trying to be mean...I plead ignorance and am trying to understand our cultural differences is all.

For shadokat and anyone else who is confused:
hazing and pledging are 2 different things. The terms are NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. If it helps, looks at it this way: pledging is an EVENT, hazing is a THING that can happen while you are PLEDGING. Like I said in my first response, once we learn the difference between the two, we'll be on our way to solving the problem.
You're right, HAZING does NOTHING to promote what Delta or any any sorority or fraternity is about. No one here said they were PRO-HAZING. If anything, we're PRO-PLEDGING. That is: PRO-TIME MANAGEMENT, PRO-SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, PRO-CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY, PRO-TEAMWORK, PRO-ACADEMIC RESPONSIBILITY, PRO-SISTERHOOD, PRO-BONDING, PRO-SELF AWARENESS, PRO-PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT and a heck of a lot of other positive life skills that are developed when one is online.
