I wasn't beaten...I wasn't forced to drink excessively...I didn't have to circle my fat or anything like that--but I was hazed. It was the subtle kind that many are arguing creates unity--and I again will restate that my class was not close with each other or the active members because of those activities. The people that were close were those who spent time with one another, sharing their lives and working through real issues together. The whole period just led to people being manipulative, rather than accepting, and it cuase problems down the road with lack of trust and people leaving the organization.
It was several months AFTER my new member period that I began to feel a part of the group, and even then it has not extended into a lifetime bond with those people. I am much more connected to other sisters from around the country as a result of my volunteering than I am to any sister from my chapter.
