Even under the NPC definition, I have real trouble imagining how this can possibly be considered hazing.
Hazing is defined as any action or situation with or without consent which recklessly, intentionally or unintentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student, or creates risk of injury, or causes discomfort, embarrassment, harassment or ridicule or which willfully destroys or removes public or private property for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in a chapter or colony of an NPC member fraternity. (Emphasis added)
If requiring church attendance (in a explicitly Christian sorority) could be considered hazing, then I guess it would also be hazing to require payment of dues, since that is "condition for continued membership."

Devil's Advocate: If a non-Christian member is bidded (which despite the mission of this group is a possibility), it would be considered hazing to require a non-Christian to attend a religious service.

Even in the case of a Non-Christian being bid, I still don't think it would be considered hazing if they were upfront about the requirement to go to church. It's really no different then requiring members to go to chapter or sisterhoods or whatever. Plus, many GLOs include "religious" material in initiation, even if they are not "Christian" sororoities.

Word. It's reasonable to say that non-Christans would suffer discomfort if required to attend a Christian religious service or Bible study. Of course, I don't suspect that non-Christians would join a Christian sorority, but still.

Sorta like a poor person joining a sorority and then having to pay dues?

I think that if you join a Christian sorority, you have a reasonable expectation that there will be Christian activity there. If this makes you uncomfortable, don't join.
I don't think they're exactly hiding the fact that church and bible studies are involved here, the PNMs will know ahead of time.

And I think that it is fair enough to say that actives are also required/compelled/ desire to take bible study and go to church...therefore negating hazing?

Just shouting yall out because you're in Kansas.
Now PJ, that handsign was in use before Theta Nu Xi enjoyed it as well.

IThanks for looking over our website. I hope it was interesting to you. If you get time to go back, please sign the guestbook.
I don't know Theta Nu Xi but I will look you all up now. I do know of another organization that uses that sign, so it must be a popular sign. That sign has a special and specific meaning to us, as I assume everyone's sign has to them.
Sincerely,
V.O.
