Aw, I like brown and orange.. Orange is my favorite color! I was actually disappointed when I moved up and had to wear green. Then much later, ironically, I joined AST. Lol. I love green, but orange is definitely still my fav. Unfortunately, there are no NPCs that use the color orange!
Now, regarding the topic at hand.. By "embarrassing," I don't think the NPC and NPHC were referring to having to wear a pledge pin.. Or beanie.. Or whatever. I'm sure they were thinking more along the lines of being forced to do something that's most certainly humiliating (I won't even list examples). But hey, it's all subjective, right?
Honestly, I wasn't always comfortable walking through the student union, or across campus to the chapel in my whites for our ritual ceremonies. I was even asked a few times by guys if I was a nursing student.. And of course they laughed as they passed by.. But I'd never accuse the sisters/sorority of hazing me because I HAD to wear that.
Now, if someone told me, "You'll wear those clothes around campus, otherwise we'll beat your ass and force you to drink 'til you pass out," then that's a different story. And if those guys wearing beanies are meeting with similar threats and consequnces, then yes, it's hazing. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of guys who are all wearing the same thing.. Like all of the Thetas on bid day.. Or all of the Tri Deltas at initiation.
