Hazing creates a sense of unity

[33girl]

I think you kind of missed my point, which is that a colonization of an existing local (or a local thinking about going national) 99% of the time has things going on and differences happening that have nothing to do with hazing. So holding up your experience as a "hazing didn't create unity" example isn't quite the same as someone from an already established chapter. Not to say you're wrong, just to point out that the group you were in may have had another "layer" of things happening that others may have not.
