<p>Ummm it shouldn’t be considered hazing because it isn’t? (Sorry I didn’t read through every single one of those articles you posted) It’s not as though it’s mandatory and it’s all in good fun. If you do decide to participate, you can choose your level. People picking level 5 do so knowing that they’ll probably have to do something extremely embarrassing and insane. If you don’t want to be involved in nudity you can say so. And most of the tasks are done in the privacy of the dorm lounge with the drapes closed and only people in the dorm participating in Secret Snowflake can watch. Those articles make it seem worse than it really is, because it’s really quite funny and a nice break from studying for finals. I know of some people in my dorm who received their task, weren’t comfortable with it and requested a new one. And if it bothers you that much, you can always just not participate…</p>
