I never said I agreed with the "punish everyone" approach. When it comes to preventing hazing, common sense went out the window.

Frankly, I don't really have an issue with the squeaky chicken in a fraternity scenario. I don't see the harm if it's just a funny game to pass the time. Like, throwing paper basketballs in a wastepaper basket - if you miss, you do 5 push-ups - or something like that. People do that kind of stuff everywhere.
I mean, we even have that thread here at GreekChat - You Laugh, You Lose:

My point was that this type of "everything could be hazing" policy is an overcorrection for what is seen as an inability of youth to use good judgement and self-control.
