Hazing creates a sense of unity

AGDee, I see what you are saying, and basically, we are in agreement. However, I think from a national perspective, maybe the rules are too strict. I can see how the type of scavenger hunt you're talking about could be dangerous. However, a scavenger hunt limited to for example, a 1 square mile area? There's very minimal risk involved there. Probably a lot less risk than participating in some intramural sports.

To say that scavenger hunts are "always" immoral because of the risk you're unfairly placing on your brothers and sisters in other chapters is again painting with too broad a brush.

I think that's a big frustration that many undergrads have with their respective national entities. There is generally a lot of expectation as far as these guys/gals acting like adults, but there is very little trust.

I agree that our organizations are businesses, but let's not forget that we're in the business of brotherhood and sisterhood. Let's not allow the business aspect to frustrate what our purpose was in the first place.
