its not a slight against them, but it does kind of cast Iota in a negative light, just like the JHU situation makes Sigma Chi look bad. Whether you agree or disagree or what your opinion is kind of doesn't matter in that respect, because it will cause [some] people to look at them negatively.

While I don't necessarily agree with the content of his post, no organization is perfect. There are plenty of Iotas on this board. If they think that his post makes Iota look bad, they should be the ones calling him out, not every other person on GC.

I think it was meant to be a "nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more" type statement. Or, saying "We don't do X" while shaking your head. I don't believe he was trying to be hypocritical, regardless of our opinion of the act of hazing.

Well it actually does matter when people disagree with this notion because the premise of your post is that people are easily influenced and opinions matter.
If their opinions about Sigma Chi as a whole matters then it's important for others to say "that's dumb to make the actions of one JHU Sigma Chi be a negative against such a great, big organization."

I disagree completely. Most people are idiots but they are idiots with short attention spans.

Delta Nu Psi was created after our founder had a horrible experience at a fraternity's rush. He still won't tell anyone what happened.
Because of this, Delta was formed as staunchly anti-hazing.
Sure, we have our pledges greet current brothers and sisters, but that's more their chance to embaress us by yelling to us across the DC or in classes. We take them on hikes, give them activities to do, make them work-out to "Sweatin' To The Oldies" during Hell Week, but at least 4 brothers and sisters (as well as their pledge-masters) take part as well.
We make sure they have 2 library hours each day, aren't forced to stay up past 1 AM, never force them to drink (Hell, they're not even allowed to drink during the process until they get bigs), and do not allow them to skip classes.
Hell, the only time I was paddled during my pledge-process, it was entirely consentual. And it was great
