It's not about what lane she's in, it's about her ignorance on what is and is not hazing to organizations outside her own council.

This is not much different from non-NPC organizations thinking it's LAME that most NPC "new members" wear letters before initiation. Thinking it's LAME doesn't make it morally wrong. Just lame to you.

It is different, because you can think it's lame but you don't think it's MORALLY WRONG. And I will clarify; the distinction between being morally wrong and thinking something is morally wrong depends simply on what you think. Morally wrong is different for everyone.

Wearing letters before initiation couldn't be considered hazing at all. Surely you can see how someone might see forced marching as hazing, whether or not you think so?

I think that allowing your new members to wear letters is morally wrong and detrimental to the entire Greek community because you're giving shit away.

See how it doesn't have to be hazing for it to be morally wrong? Wait, is it morally wrong or is it just something you think is lame?

Is this hazing to you? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhEyQAzffdA

I do use my real brains. My real brains help me read and comprehend actual relevant state laws, GLO policies and academic institution policies on what does and does not constitute hazing.

He was referring to the fact that many times posters here have made it abundently clear that not allowing people to wear letters before initiation IS WITHOUT A DOUBT hazing. Meanwhile, many of our orgs prohibit wearing letters before initiation.
