I disagree. Unless you are going with the definition where asking anything of anyone - pledge or active - is considered hazing.

A lot of these came into being as CYA measures due to the 5% of chapters who truly hazed (regardless of the 95% who didn't).

Or, they came into being because members wanted to learn throughout their Greek experience, not just have everything squeezed into 6 weeks.

I'm not trying to hijack your thread, but saying traditional = hazing in the Greek world is the kind of stereotype we fight against daily. Pledging is traditional. Hazing is not. The two are not synonymous.
