"I know we all have a handle on physical hazing, but the psychological and old "traditions" that die hard.... those are a gray area that we seem to have difficulty putting our arms around."
Our chapter didn't haze us in any way - unless you call getting a present every week you are considered a new member psychologically damaging (I sure don't!).
We did have to do a pleadge class fund raiser that all pledge classes have to do. With the money we buy something nice for the chapter room - we bought recruitment pillows to kneal on. I don't really consider it hazing because what we are buying was for EVERYONE, not just the current actives. We did a raffle, and if we had problems selling tickets the already actives would buy like $10 worth from us.
Another thing we did was having to find out big sis's. We all got hats and a puzzle peice and had to find the door with the matching puzzle piece taped to it. When our big sis openned the door she had the same hat on. I don't think that was hazing either seeing as how it was so excited and we were all running up and down the halls laughing trying to find the right door. Once inside we got TONS and TONS of goodies/presents. And again, if you call getting presents hazing - then you're strange.
Hahhaa - I love when people asked me how I was hazed. I give them a disappointed look like - we didn't get hazed, we only got presents every week for 6 weeks. It was like christmas being a new member.
I <3 my chapter!
