Hazing, Continued

Well, yes, SAE hazes, as do most of the fraternities on the IFC. Today was Greek Awards. To the OFSA's credit, since I've been at Cornell they've been pretty good about sending the right awards to the right houses. Specifically, the houses which really don't haze tend to take home the awards for new member education. Most of the individual and chapter awards, at least from my knowledge of the IFC realm, also tend to be well deserved.

Yet, the blatant existence of hazing didn't stop SAE from receiving a prestigious Outstanding Chapter award. Go figure.

Another moment of levity, at least for me, came when a brother of Lambda Chi received an Outstanding New Member award for, in part, writing the Valentine's Day song and dance for his pledge class. This type of activity, of course, is defined as hazing by the OFSA.

I'll probably write about the Greek system a lot over the next couple of weeks. Lots to think about.
