Is Hazing making a comeback?

[Langox510x]

I decided to read the Wisconsin state laws definition of hazing, and now I can honestly say my fraternity does not haze.

Wisconsin Hazing Law
948.51 Hazing.

(1) In this section "forced activity" means any activity which is a condition of initiation or admission into or affiliation with an organization, regardless of a student's willingness to participate in the activity.

(2) No person may intentionally or recklessly engage in acts which endanger the physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with any organization operating in connection with a school, college or university. Under those circumstances, prohibited acts may include any brutality of a physical nature, such as whipping, beating, branding, forced consumption of any food, liquor, drug or other substance, forced confinement or any other forced activity which endangers the physical health or safety of the student.

(3) Whoever violates sub. (2) is guilty of:

(a) A Class A misdemeanor if the act results in or is likely to result in bodily harm to another.

(b) A Class E felony if the act results in great bodily harm or death to another.

The process never stopped, some chapters choose to haze members, some just do "paper" intake. It is an illegal process and no one should be doing it, people are getting hurt and killed because big bros/big sis take it too far. I had the luxury of being on line and doing my process "above ground" (meaning out in the open for all on campus to see) but its really not all that serious if you were "made" or went "paper". The questions are: Are you financially active? What have you done for your org? How many hours of community service have you completed?
No one is worth me losing my letters that I worked so hard to obtain. Nowadays, people dont want to be on line, they just want to wear a T-shirt with greek letters on it.
