Sorority hazing

[Anonymous]

There's gonna be bad apples no matter the group to which you belong. Pretty sure that the srats are under a pretty decent microscope at most universities, whether by their school's admin or their national orgs.

I have heard the "blow or blow," but that was floating around two decades ago, so not sure if its just urban legend at this point?

The whole mean comment circle and make a fool of yourself as a recruitment class definitely happen. Shoot these things often happen with high school varsity sports teams, too, for both boys and girls teams. Unfortunate all around.

Don’t know if it’s considered hazing but it’s very common for bigs to buy their little a dildo and bake her a cake for losing her virginity.

Are you confusing this with Dazed and Confused? I love Parker Posey.

My friend's daughter was home from college on spring break recently and she said that in her sorority, the hazing involves getting yelled at and being made fun of. It's more a mental thing instead of physical. Although it sounds mild, there's something very off-putting and nasty about that. My daughter definitely wants to rush when she's in college next year, but she doesn't have the tolerance or the patience to deal with that ridiculousness. She'd probably talk back and either get kicked out or just withdraw from the whole thing.

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.

I don't keep saying anything. This is my first post and my kid is pledging right now. They would tell me if there was hazing. In fact, their whole friends group talked about it a lot before rush. People talk......a lot.

Dang you beat me to it because I was looking for a good pic to post.

If so she will live and do great! My ds dropped his fraternity for this reason.

Mine has not been hazed. The sororities tend to look at things differently than frats. For example, there is a fun even that involves costumes. No one can choose anything too outlandish and the pledges can't even wear them around campus b/c that is classified as hazing. That's kind of taking it too far, but whatever. The girls also have the option of not participating in anything and they don't get in trouble for it. My daughter has confirmed this is true.

There is one srat that has had pledges put embarrassing things on their own social media and I'd bet that's the one that also yells at people.

Yup, ridiculously naive. Your college age kid isn’t telling you everything.Not sure why someone would even want to believe their kid doesn’t have a private life apart from them.

How sad that your kid feels like they need to hide stuff from you

Anyone who thinks their kid is telling them they do blow is themselves on drugs or extreme copium.

It’s not about hiding— it’s about being independent. Did you report everything in your personal life to your parent in college? It’s not developmentally appropriate.

Looks like a former hazer is here. I get details I do and don't want. Haha! I can't necessarily share things with her dad, but she tells me plenty, including crazy stuff I don't necessarily need to know.
