"hell Week" video
Not sure if this goes under Risk Management, because I am not sure if this is a joke. They look like a bunch of tools. They are Chi Delta Phis.

Most of those "hazing" videos on YouTube are fake.

The video looked a little old, like it was filmed in the 80s. They were definetely a bunch of tools, with the poo surprise and the hitler mustache.

This video is disgusting. How were they stupid enough to tape their crimes? The mustache guy was on the verge of crying. This was clearly hazing and very dispicable.

Sickening.
With 43,728 views this is just going to confirm some peoples preconceived notions of what the Greek system is all about.

I think that you are probably right about it being in the early to mid 90s. I would actually say early vs. mid-90s.
I pledged an NPC at my first school (left school the last week of semester due to health and had to depledge), and every chapter at my first school had "hell week", vs. what is now often known as "inspiration week". I saw a great similarity in the hostility towards the pledges in the video, to how some chapters treated theirs during h-week. Some of it was downright humiliating.
Note: I later transferred schools (to be closer to my doctors), and pledged and initiated Gamma Sigma Sigma.
Many of the changes in pledge education (now called NM or MIT period) over the past decade are positive, since they proactively set limits on the potential for emotional and physical injury. But I do think that in general, across the board, the interpretation of some of the rules have been taken too far.
(This is my personal opinion and do not reflect those of my chapter or my national organization)

I like the last thing you said. I feel the definition of hazing has gone waaaaay too far, and it's absolutely a problem many chapters grapple with..."what's going too far." There are plenty of reasonable things that go on during pledging I'd have no problem telling my mother about which are considered "hazing" these days which gave me no physical or psychological trauma.
