Real Concern: Does Hazing still happen in the Greek system?

[Anonymous]

Tons of hazing at my school, blacked out so many times don’t remember much.

That is just complete BS. Nice try.

Cornell sorority hazing is notorious

Yes. For the sororities, expect at a minimum for your daughter to have to get naked in font of her sisters on several occasions as a form of hazing. It’s all sworn to secrecy.

I think we've answered OP's question, not to mention put 18:56 in his/her place.

Sororities never pressure candidates to have sex with actives/candidates from favored fraternities?

Mom never finds out about that, so she can confidently say there is no hazing.

My DS left his fraternity at UVA because of the hazing and dangerous alcohol-related behavior generally.

UVA is the WORST for Greek hazing.

Of course.

Kids die every year.

Especially in the south. And students who go Greek have a greater risk of many other I safety hazards—from rape to accidents.

BS your kid did not tell you.

They all haze

Maybe they enjoyed hazing. It can actually be a fun bonding experience. But just because a bunch of 19 year olds think it's fun and bonding doesn't mean it's not incredibly stupid or wildly dangerous.

And pretty disgusting to humiliate your supposed friends for entertainment.

It's already been established that many of the WORST schools for frat hazing are in the northeast. So your narrative about the south being worse is simply false.
