Finally got a chance to listen to the podcast. I was glad to hear that the panel repeatedly talked about hazing as far more than a Greek problem and that they frequently acknowledged what Greek organizations are trying to do to combat hazing.
But what particularly interested me was the acknowledgment from at least some on the panel that hazing per se is "part of human nature" that is never going to be eradicated completely. The one psychologist (?) in particular said a number times that the challenge is not about eliminating everything that could be called hazing, but rather is about proper supervision and oversight to ensure elimination of anything that is potentially physically, mentally or emotionally demeaning or damaging, and especially to ensure removal of alcohol from the equation.
