Well, although I see the points in everyone's views, the thing is a little is not OK. Not when you can lose your chapter.
I know it must be hard going through things that new guys wouldn't have to, but new-new members programs are desgined to produce the same brotherhood/sisterhood that was traditionally a result of hazing type activites.
Fraternities and Sororities can get away with different things...maybe not at all schools, but definitly mine. NPC groups are not allowed to do anything as the NPC guidelines spell out, but the men's groups were often taken on road trips, living together-sitting outside classrooms waiting for their pledge brothers(b/c they had to sleep/eat/go to class togther), wear the same outfits......all while in front of God and everyone. And that goes for many team sports as well.
Although some of the "fun" activies are no longer allowed, it is for the best and it forces us to be more creative while getting away from the norm that everyone expects.
My school has been lucky, not too much has been caught or been of national attention, but things can change and it may not be until someone gets hurt-which is truly unfortunate.
