Hazing types by group type.

I agree with you, rhoyaltempest. I'm not naive enough to think that things don't continue to go on, but I do believe that it's gotten a lot better in most chapters. I do not, however, have a problem with talking about hazing. We can't just say "It's illegal in my organization." It's hard to really know what is going on at all of our chapters. Hopefully, we have enough educational material in place, enough oversight and enough intelligent members in our chapters to keep hazing to a minimum.

But, if someone wants to know what's going on out there, there are enough threads in this forum about chapters that have been suspended or had their charters pulled because of hazing incidents. Between that, and a search through newspapers (both college and professional) across the country, people can get a good idea about the different types of hazing that are occurring.

I'm just not sure what purpose it serves to talk about perceived differences in the ways different chapters haze.

Especially since none of our chapters are supposed to be doing it.

And it's fairly easy to get into the "Well I heard X group makes their pledges drink," or "I heard Y group paddles their pledges."
