To start off I am not affiliated with any BGLO.
All of the divine 9 sororities and fraternities do not support hazing. I’ve been to all of their websites and it’s clearly written that it is illegal and if members or prospective members were caught doing so the chapter (in most cases) will be suspended.
With this being said, I would like to know why so many of them especially the fraternities still haze and “give wood”?
I know some greek people will say “we don’t haze, we teach deference”…. by paddling?
So why don’t they do what their organization wants them to do? How is beating someone for no reason going to make that person love and respect you as their brother/sister?
I’m all for legit lessons, actions that have meaning behind them, but not pointless beatings. Almost like getting initiated into a gang.
Also, I’ve noticed that Alpha Kappa Alpha seems to be really enforcing the non-hazing policy, however now other orgs call them “skaters, and paper” because of this. It’s almost appalling.
In my opinion, none of the founders would want that. They want dedicated people that are successful and give back to the community.

I am currently drafting a business plan for an online brokerage firm that fills a niche. Neither my partner nor I have any investment certifications or experience (we will hire the necessary people); however, from my research I see that in order to be a broker, you must have a Series 7 certification. My question is who within an online brokerage firm is required to hold such a certification, at the minimum?
1) Nobody since computers will be doing the investing and not people.
2) At least one of the principle founders/partners.
3) At least one of the hired executives or managers.
4) Anyone within the organization regardless of their position.
5) The company itself can acquire a Series 7 certification irrespective of the people within the organization.
