Hazing creates a sense of unity

That's the crazy thing though. I once read part of an SK History book, I think it was on eBay and there's was pages that you could read. It totally talked about how in the early years, like the first 25, Alpha chapter would do things like a fake initiation. There's no way a fake initiation wouldn't be considered hazing by today's standards. And since it was so early on the founders probably knew about it, if not started it. It shocked me and made me wonder what else they did that would not fly today.

I'd be most interested in finding one of those books! However I do believe there's a difference between the stuff that's been taken away, such as scavenger hunts, and the stuff that is strictly hazing.

I'll again say I love that our Iweek is happy and not mean

I remember we begged the older sisters to have a scavanger hunt or something fun like that (my pledge sister Emily said, "I WANT TO BE HAZED!!" lol). Since all "hazing" is not allowed, instead during Inspo Week, the NM get a night with each grade - a sophomore night, a junior night, a senior night, and play games and etc.
