There are various methods but it involves group get togethers where you meet sorority members - usually structured parties. You might get a bid at the end of recruitment. It is an invitation to become a new member of a sorority and pledge and in all likelihood initiate into that sorority as an active member. Hazing does happen, but not in every chapter, and what you hear about particular sororities hazing may be rumors or may not be. We don't know. Initiation is the ceremony after pledging when you learn the secrets of the sorority and become a member. Hazing is the illegal act of already initiated members forcing pledges to do anything really, since they are pledges. Hazing and initiation really have nothing to do with each other.
