99% of sororities don't haze. They're very conscious about it, to the point of ridiculousness (in my opinion) like not having mandatory study hours for freshmen because the older sisters don't have to do it, so it must be considered "hazing".

Local sororities (those not affiliated with a National group) are much more likely to haze - if you remember the MTV show 'Sorority Life' they definitely chose locals for that reason.

For fraternities, it does tend to be a campus specific thing. There are lots of schools, even those with huge greek systems, in which hazing just doesn't happen. At other places, it's really bad. The fact that this is at Tulane, a southern school, doesn't surprise me, because as a region, the South is much more likely to haze. But it's not a universal thing and it's important to make that distinction that just because one chapter of an organization hazes, it absolutely 100% does not mean that all the chapters haze.
