I had a pledge notebook - hazing. I wore a pledge ribbon with my pledge pin for the first week - hazing. I answered the chapter telephone - hazing. I served beer & soda at a mixer - hazing.
I'm not trying to call you out on hazing, or on your GLO, but rather, pointing out that the definition of hazing has changed drastically over the years. If a sister doesn't do it, it's considered hazing. At least, by Alpha Delta Pi standards.
Knowing that the current Miss America did something, even in an email to her national, disturbs me. I think she's also a bad example of sorority women.
YIPPEE!!!

Please tell me you didn't participate in a scavenger hunt too! And the very worst of all - being called a pledge. How humiliating. The wounds from our hazing experiences will never heal!

Yes, I am WOUNDED FOR LIFE!!! (You couldn't tell??)
Seriously, all this new wording makes me crazy at times. Nobody pledges - they take their New Member (vows? oath?). Yikes!

Women still pledge.
It's just that now, "pledge" is a verb, not a noun.
Really wish NPC would go back to the old terms.

1964Alum, according to today's definition of hazing, you were also hazed. Seriously - check into your national standards. I thought being a pledge was special, and am not saying that I didn't enjoy being a pledge - even as I longed to be a full-fledged sister. As I said before, I'm not calling out Chi Omega - this is the NPC standard now.
AnchorAlumna, I wish we could go back to the new terms, too. I'd like to see statistics as to whether hazing is more prominent now as opposed to pre-1980.
