Me too. Black sororities *definitely* haze. When I went to Officer Candidate School after university, all of my black femail classmates that were greek said it was nothing compared to their sorority hazing.

Then you are blind or unconscious, because they all do it.

That's your come back? That I'm blind? 4 years in a sorority and I never once saw hazing. I had tons of friends in other sororities too.

+1. Mine didn’t do it

i also was in a sorority on a campus with a big greek life and had no hazing whatsoever. I was an officer and lived in the house for two years so I can say it didn't happen.

I went to a super Greek school and didn't see it in the sororities either. Now the fraternities. Shocking. I have two boys in college now, neither in a fraternity.

I would say that Indiana, 'Bama, U of SC, maybe FSU and sometimes UIUC have been known to haze. Indiana in particular has next-level competitive rush due to some very wealthy students and lots of legacies.

I went to a small university with a heavy greek presence, sororities definitely hazed and hazed in conjunction with frats

The IU story is crazy. And maybe I chuckled a little.

I went to school in the early 2000s at a private university in NC. SO. MUCH. HAZING.

My brother went to UVa back in the day and just skipped the Greek life. I went to a school with no Greek life allowed. I didn’t want to be on a campus where social life was based on excluding people from the get go.

No big deal. Students die of hazing, how is that "no big deal"

Hazing is wrong period. There is zero reasons to torture people with this garbage to "make firends"

Are you not understanding? It was a PRANK. They didn't actually have to do it.

Was it really a prank or plausible deniability? That is, you put out the word, people freak out, BUT some pledges do it. After waiting a while, you say it’s a prank. For those who took the command seriously, they now look like fools and have compromised their integrity. I’m with others on this: who would sacrifice their dignity and standards to make “friends.” Sounds desperate.

Schools are businesses, nothing more. a relative was killed in a hazing incident, they go through the motions to make people think they are taking care of it but they don't.

I was a sorority member (90's) at a college where a fraternity brother died last week (alcohol related). While I left my sorority time with a mixed view to it, that mixed view was NOT due to hazing. We were a top (objectively - they had no trouble recruiting like others did) sorority on campus. There was zero hazing. None. None of the body shaming type (using marker to ID fat, as I've heard from others). None involving alcohol. None involving shaming or being offensive in any way. The sisters loved the pledges and did everything they could to show it (perhaps to downplay some of the other stuff that I didn't particularly like). But, they set us up on blind dates (voluntarily, nothing against our consent), bought us presents, sang us silly songs, took us to parties (which there was alcohol but never forced), etc. I can say that none of my friends in other sororities on campus also expressed that they experienced hazing.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen. But that was not the case for me or my friends. So I don't think it's automatic that it happens everywhere.

Oh please, if exclusion is your bar then you better toughen up. There are lots of schools, clubs, etc. that exclude "from the get go." There are lots of things to criticize re: Greek system. That is not one of them.

Any group that decides who can join and who can't is hazing-it has many meanings.

+2. And I posted above. LARGE midwestern public university with a big greek system. No sorority hazing. At least not in my sorority or those of my friends.
