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.

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.

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


UVA is the WORST for Greek hazing.

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.

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.

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