Is this sort of hazing normal?

Jazing: when they forced him to DD it was like a six or seven hour shift from like 9-4 and before other fraternities got in trouble because that could cause sleep deprivation or something so at his school it was technically hazing

MysticCat: No he did not live in the house his pledge semester, he was in the dorms. From what I understood they came to all the dorms and apartments the pledges were living at and picked them up. Are you advising that if I am in a similar situation that I should go with them and if it turns out to be what they said just leave?

Not at all. I'm simply pointing out that you're relying on third-hand information. You don't know what was actually going on.

Please note that I said simply instilling the fear is hazing. I did not say it's okay, just that I know it has happened.

Hazing is without a doubt a problem. But so are rumors and stories about hazing. They may be true and they may not be. They may be exaggerated. Unless you're personally involved, sometimes you really don't know what the truth about it is.
