- They have a series of tests and quizzes that they have to pass
There are a couple of other questionable ones as well (making posters, running event, the wallet/door unlock thing, point system, etc- depending on how it's handled). You may want to clarify what hazing is before you say that you don't do it. There are many threads here that involve discussions & debates on what constitutes hazing. |
Exactly what I was thinking. This stuff sounds exactly like hazing to me. Hazing isn't just making a pledge drink to excess, or bare their bottoms and take a paddle to the ass. There may be no national headquarters to report your org to, but I'm sure the college might appreciate knowing, provided the college recognizes you as a group (which I'm assuming they do since they allow you to participate in the OrgSmorg). I would rethink your whole pledge period procedures and activities if I were an officer in your organization.
