I know for a fact that they did haze, also. Nothing bad considered in the big, overall scheme of W&L hazing (think cattle prods) but that was sort of lurking below the surface. I know of only 2-3 fraternities on campus that don't haze physically and none that don't haze at all. I don't support any kind of hazing, and even though the SigEps were pretty mild (probably considered "normal" even by a lot of the guys on GC) I don't think that helped--like a nationals guy came by one Hell Week and found pledges living in the basement of the house, totally sleep deprived, and put an end to it.

. . . . The Virginia Epsilon chapter was definately a great chapter, but I think in many ways they shot themselves in the foot by the way they interacted with and responded to their HQ.
Assuming what you say is true, the W&L IFC, the Greek advisors, and the fraternities' HQs have their work cut out for them. Cattle prods? CATTLE PRODS? You know what I'm thinking about? The excellent comments made by JustaMom concerning her son's and son's friends feelings about rushing at LSU -- very anti-hazing, as I recall.

There must be great guys at W&L who don't like hazing, and I hope things get turned around there.
