[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not really hazing, but more of a “trust exercise,” but expect sorority pledges to have to disrobe in front of their sisters, at least once in private.  It’s widespread and normal.[/quote]

This is an old urban legend. I heard this was going to happen in the early 90s when I pledged and nope. Not at my sorority, not for any of my friends in other sororities, not for any of my relatives or their children who rushed, not for my kid or any of her friends now.

Trolls have really taken over DCUM in the last year with intensity. It’s a real shame because this website has been so helpful in the past as a good parenting resource. Now let board warrior trolls have ruined it. [/quote]

Just because it did not happen to you, does not automatically render it “urban legend.”  You are a sample size of one.

And the fact that it’s widespread comes from all the remarkably similar accounts (ie not coincidence), from all the sisters and former sisters across the USA:  all the accounts mentioned ceremonies in private, which all involve the robe.  It’s debatable how many still involve the physically-harmless but still humiliating sharpie marker.  But they all consistently include pledges partially or fully disrobing in front of their sisters, then receiving their robe to cover up.

It is also something no  college women would run home to tell mommy about; it’s all private and it’s kept private.  And it still commonly happens.[/quote]
