You're also right that I've said this over and over again. Someone has to keep saying it until we stop losing chapters -- or the system dies completely which makes the point moot.
Enough.

With the laws that are already in place, and the new laws to come and the existing laws due to change, who's to say that the system won't die completely due to an outrageous amount of restrictions? The way it's going now, we won't be able to require philanthropy events, fundraisers, history education, and so on. Since it is all deemed "required" it could very well be deemed "to add stress or pressure" to a "new member" in the rushing process.
We once had books we carried around to interview the active members of the fraternity, which I thought was an excellent way to get to know the guys in the house. Due to new hazing policies and laws, we can't do that. You know what, each semester, every new pledge or "new member" learns less and less about the members. Not knowing the members allows the missed opportunity to learn of fraternity stories, passed events, formals, all those good things that are held dear to each and every active. I can only imagine what someone that was rushing would do while pledging a house with 75,100, 150 members.
