Ginger17sr,
I guess it all depends on how you view hazing in the first place. It's supposedly defined as anything you ask someone to do that they wouldn't normally do or that doesn't have a positively constructive outcome. Well, first of all your friend violated her oath if she told you about anything she had to do, hazing or not. Second, yes you feel a bit of pressure if you don't go along with it, but if you are joining the right group for you they won't discriminate because you were uncomfortable with something. I was not subjected to anything horrible, by that I mean I was not forced to drink and I was not subject to anything violent whatsoever!!!! Most of the so called "hazing" is about trusting your future sisters or brothers. I agree, I wouldn't want to be a part of a group that made me feel uncomfortable or treated me with complete disrespect, (which is what real hazing is). But like I said, then you picked the wrong group to get involved in. Not all sororities and fraternities are like the ones portrayed in the media. In fact, I partied less after I joined a sorority, I was just to busy with activities and schoolwork to make it to many parties. Some do party alot, but think about the person....most likely they'd find another group of friends and be partying just as hard or harder. It's all in knowing who you are, and what you're joining.
