A new member can choose to drink, but cannot be forced to drink. (And the drinking certainly isn't allowed if they're underaged, of course!)

The definition of hazing really varies a lot from group to group. If you search (click the little search button at the top right hand of the page) I'm sure you can find a thread with a much more detailed answer. Basically, though, it's something a new member is forced to do that an active wouldn't. My organization's policy is very, very strict- scavenger hunts are considered hazing, as well as any sort of exam for new members, or even teasing new mebers about what they will go through for initiation. One of the first thing new members of Kappa are asked to do is read and sign a copy of the Fraternity's hazing policy- both the hazer and the hazee can be held responsible in any hazing incident.

Anyways, that's just my attempt at summarizing. Do a search and you'll more than likely find an answer that is much more detailed and specific.

From what I've seen sororities are very anti-hazing right now (that's good in my opinion).

I belong to a fraternity and this is our hazing rule. I'd assume many NPC-type groups have similar rules.

No chapter, colony, student or alumnus shall conduct nor condone hazing activities. Hazing activities are defined as: Any action taken or situation created , intentionally, whether on or off fraternity premises to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule. Such activities may include but are not limited to the followingt: use of alcohol; paddling in any form; creation of excessive fatigue; physical and psychological shocks; quests, treasure hunts, scavenger hunts, road trips or any other such activities carried on outside or inside the confines of the chapter house; wearing of public apparel which is conspicuous and not normally in good taste; engaging in public stunts of buffoonery; morally degrading or humiliating games and activities; and any other activities which are not consistant with academic achievement, fraternal law, ritual or policiy or the regulations and policies of the educational institution, or applicable state law."

It's probably fair to say that all fraternities have anti-hazing language in their Constitution/Bylaws also. Unforunately, as you can see in this group of threads, a lot of chapters don't follow the rules their nationals legislate.

When they don't, they often lose their charters. And, if they're guilty, they should.

Under hazing you can drink...unless it is forced. In the latter case, it is hazing.
