Definitely the impression given by your post.

and if you look at what constitutes as hazing, everything pretty much does! having pledges enter the house through the back door is hazing, having them dress in house colors, and having them answer the phone. if we dont want to get in trouble with our school for hazing we pretty much have to have a tea party.

Serious question: Who says having pledges enter through the back door, having them dress in house colors or having them answer the phone is hazing? I'd be amazed if your state law does. Does the school classify these things as hazing?

If yes, then you need to be having a conversation appropriate people at your school about how to construct a pledge process that does not include what your school would classify as hazing. What are other sororities on your campus doing?

If no, then it really doesn't matter whether another org would consider these things hazing. But you really need to ask yourselves what constructive purpose is served by things like making the pledges answer the phone or use the back door.
