Sorority hazing

Neither will I. It just seems like a sick, twisted, sadistic anachronism and it has led to too many alcohol fueled deaths. In this day and age you would think there are much better ways to bond.

I was in a sorority in the 90s and there was none of that. My daughter has joined a sorority and the same as true. I don’t know what her friends are experiencing, but I know none of my friends and other sororities experiencing of the sort of things that are degrading or dangerous. Maybe we just didn’t choose to be with people who would enjoy that activity, but it was nothing at all I would ever have made me feel bad about myself.

From what I know, fraternity pledging and sorority pledging are two very different experiences.

“blow or blow” is quite common and nearly everyone takes the dildo option. It is very rare to choose the other option. It is just plain fun. No harm. Everyone laughs their ears off. You guys are making too big a deal out of it.

Wait, are you saying that most take the option of having a dildo shoved up their private parts?

Because in my sorority experience there was none of that. Instead, I had a group of friends that greatly enhanced my college experience, and well beyond


In fact, I am STILL involved 45 years later, and some if my best friends are from that sorority. Every time I have moved, I have been able to join the local alum group and had an instant support group.

PP you quoted. Of course, I have no problem with a sorority like yours. It sounds wonderful. I don't know what percentage of sororities in 2026 are like yours. I think the others cast a dark shadow on the whole Greek system.

For what it's worth, my two college kids are at Greek-heavy schools and had zero interest. One, who is super social and would otherwise love to be in a house of insta-friends, flat-out said he just didn't want to put up with the pledge/rush experience. Maybe I poisoned my kids beforehand. If they were able to find fraternities similar to your sorority, I'd be happy for them.

Fraternities also have been far, far worse with hazing and that has not changed.

My kid is at one of these schools. The rumors about hazing exist, but only about 3 specific sororities. It is 100% NOT tolerated in most of them.

You keep saying this but it’s such a naive statement. No one wants to be the pledge that gets the sorority on probation or worse. Sorority hazing does remain mild compared to what the frats do.

Assuming the person considering reporting isn't the type to join a sorority that hazes (which is likely the case), why would they care if the sorority they weren't going to join anyway gets put on probation or worse? If anything they should be proud that they made campus life safer.

Social death. Isn’t that obvious?

I don't think that is one of the options!

Most sororities don’t have hell nights anymore but most did in the 99s and 00s. Way too much whitewashing in this thread

Not at my large southern state flagship we didn't.

They absolutely are very, very different.

The primary reason kids join is to have more alcohol fueled social events to attend, plus some nice pics for their social media. Of course there will also be recreational drugs at some sororities. And I don’t say because I’m a hater, I was in a sorority.

You were probably in a sorority 30 years ago. Don’t assume you know what it’s like now. I was not in a sorority when I was in college but my freshman daughter is having a very good experience so far - nice girls, no hazing, fun traditions, lots of mixers to meet other kids (not just frats; they have mixers with student organizations, too). But she isn’t in an SEC school, so I can’t speak to that experience.

I am currently an advisor for my sorority and have a college junior girl. You all are living in LaLa land, they aren’t doing jigsaw puzzles at those mixers, they are drinking.

Who is denying the drinking?

And also not at my PA LAC (but the frats did).
