Keep dreaming.

You were probably in a sorority 30 years ago. Don’t assume you know what it’s like now. I was not in a sorority when I was in college but my freshman daughter is having a very good experience so far - nice girls, no hazing, fun traditions, lots of mixers to meet other kids (not just frats; they have mixers with student organizations, too). But she isn’t in an SEC school, so I can’t speak to that experience.

I am currently an advisor for my sorority and have a college junior girl. You all are living in LaLa land, they aren’t doing jigsaw puzzles at those mixers, they are drinking.

So you were in a sorority more than 30 years ago. Thanks.

I’m actively engaged with my college chapter as an advisor. I know far more than someone who heard something from her niece.

Niece?? Not sure who you are responding to. I posted about my daughter. Again, experiences may vary at big schools and SEC schools. I don’t pretend to know about those. But I do know about my daughter’s experience. And many of the posters on here are talking about their own experience decades ago. It’s totally irrelevant.

It actually isn’t, very little has changed. Dirty rushing, like hazing, is prohibited and is still rampant, I would say even more than 30 years ago. Every chapter in the country has points systems that are necessary to get girls to go to the non alcoholic events, like chapter meetings, sisterhood and philanthropy. If a member doesn’t attend enough of these events, they are prohibited from attending mixers and date parties. Otherwise, the non party events would have paltry attendance.

This thread is about hazing. I don't think anyone is denying there are drugs.

Just heard about the common hazing game: “blow or blow” and was personally taken aback (choice btw drugs or a sexual act).

The majority of the sororities are not like this at all. About a third I would guess have things like drugs and sexual acts.

Sounds like 2/3rds of the girls are getting a Temu sorority experience.

There definitely is a lot of cocaine involved in Greek life in 2026. Like, a lot.

At what schools? I haven't heard of this.

Every school with big Greek life

Any school with big Greek life was off the list!

Too bad, sounds like your kid could use it.

Is this as true at National Pan-Hellenic orgs as Panhellenic ones?
My impression was very much not but maybe they just better at keeping quiet about this nonsense?
