What is Hazing?

Hazing consists of: Disrespect of New Members that is dehumanizing, that affects their self esteem and overall well being, be it by words or physically. These things include paddling (beating the new members), harassment, physical mutilation, branding, ingesting chemicals or poisonous substances, wearing degrading outfits (bras, nakedness, etc.), degrading tasks (serving [like a maid] the sisters, saying degrading monologues or songs, urging the new members to do anything that is against their personal or ethnic/cultural beliefs, exposing them to the elements [standing out in the freezing weather with little clothing, etc.]), abandonment (leaving new members in places where they have no knowledge of where they are, or in dark places, so that they will ‘trust’ you or themselves), illegal activities (theft, black mail, cheating or plagiarism of any kind), or public embarrassment.
