Good lord - what isnt hazing? Isnt part of the pledge process to do things that lead up to being a sister? Of course you are going to be doing things that the active sisters arent doing - like wearing a pledge pin or taking new member classes or not being able to wear letters yet. Hazing, in the simple form, is doing anything that embarrasses you, brings physical harm to you etc - wearing a pin or doing pledge events is none of those

No one said wearing a pin was hazing, but making someone wear a pin at all times and then forbidding legal activities (that the rest of the chapter is free to participate in) is. Look at it this way: say a school says all freshmen must live in XYZ dorm. Sounds innocuous, right? The freshmen move into XYZ to find that there is a 9:00 curfew strictly enforced in that dorm, but not in any other dorm. I don't think anyone would find that fair.
Pledge activities should be fun, educational or both...unless you are pledging a group who abstains from alcohol as part of their bylaws, forbidding of-age pledges to drink fits neither of those categories.
