I agree--that's a fun way to find your big, but why an hour or more? Is that really necessary?? This is why things like this get banned--because if you give an inch, many groups and people will take a mile.

Unfortunately not all chapters have involved advisors to go through the subtle nuances of things--so some things, that I call 'unhealthy traditions' (which may not be hazing...yet) get banned. If we could police ourselves, others wouldn't be doing it for us.

I will respectfully disagree. I believe If we WOULD police ourselves, instead of expecting others to do it for us, we'd be in much better shape. When we started expecting others to do it is when we started becoming sheeple instead of leaders.
