Yeah, pledges in my chapter always tell us they wish we would do more stuff to them too! We're the "boring house" too, I guess. They didn't want us to beat them or make them sit on basketballs or anything, but they wanted more "drop off in the woods behind school and find your way back type of thing." It amazes me.:p

Scary thing? On a campus somewhere, not gona say where, the boys DO get "relocated" and have to find their way home, via their pledge brothers. But they all think it's fun, and they get pledge points for "relocating" an active brother!

some more
 

Okay this is not a rumor, it happened to someone's father that I know. . ..

. . .male pledges had to pick up a cherry with their cheeks (not the facial ones) from a bowl of whipped cream. The clencher is that the ones who could NOT do it were rewarded, and the ones that could were beaten. . .

homophobia. . .

Browneyedgirl and Kelliebean . . .

I am soo dissapointed in you. Telling guys that Sorority women don't hang out and party in their lingerie all the time is like telling little kids there is no santa or the tooth fairy. Its Cruel! And I refuse to believe it!

I will go on believeing that every new Victoria Secret Catalog is just outlining the life and times of a different sorority chapter :D

Some girl from home actually asked me if we had to 'get naked' during our rituals. I wanted so badly to say 'Yes...nothing unifies a group of sisters like seeing each other in the nude!' but she seemed so obtuse I was afraid she'd take me seriously!

As for you, James, and any other male whose fantasies of half-naked sorority girls frolicking about all day and night are now shattered, I sincerely apologize. You may now return to your regularly scheduled (if slightly perverted and *very* misguided) programming! ;)

Yes, it was a local at Duquesne. However, not Tau Delta Tau. They were gone by the time I got there. A friend of mine who graduated Duq asked me about them when I was there b/c he remembers them always giggling and saying "We've got "Taus" on our ta-ta's!" OMG....gag me...!

I think that they were absolved (right word? I don't know!) by a National.

Hey my boyfriend goes to York and his roommate is in one of the fraternities. He definitely had some wacky stories to tell.

Re: Re: RUMORS GALORE!!!
 

I'm sure someone has. Fix it up! Interesting.

A friend of mine went to Frostburg a thousand years ago and had the same thing as was previously mentioned.

The guys had to sit on a block of ice (naked from the bottom down) and once their asses were numb, they had to pass a cherry with their ass cheeks to one another. No one could ever do it because they couldn't feel anything.

Frostburg is NOTORIOUS for their hazing because there isn't much to do up in the mountains.

The KTE's (a local sorority) has done some really cruel things and have landed many many girls in the hospital and some have even had nervous breakdowns because it's so intense.

They should be shut down.

CRAZY, all of that for http://www.plaudersmilies.de/happy/invasion.gif

Well sadly out chapter did do a lil hazing back in the day our former president told us she had to carry a rock around with her at all time, as big as her love for tri delta. Well that was stopped quickly by nationals and the girls responsible were expelled from school and the sorority. Anyways I have heard some scary stuff about what chio at our school is supposed to do to their pledges, coffins and stuff, yuck! The frats at our school will all tell you they don't haze, but they do. The SN well they give all thier pledges a bottle of alcohol to drink before initiation, but their big brother can help. The DX make their pledges build a house that has to always have a brother in it during i week, oh and that is after the bottle of everclear they have had to drink and before they eat dog food in the forest and have to find their way home.... if only their nationals knew...

There was something about a guy dying at Frostburg in "Wrongs of Passage." It was really sad....their admin should do something!

And that sorority sounds awful!!!!!!!!!

ROFL!
 

No one else could have written this post and have it be this funny. Good for you, Hootie! :)

just curious
 

Call me slow, but what is circling the fat?:confused:

Circling the fat is when you stand naked or in underwear (depending on who's telling the story) and the sisters circle the places on your body where you need to lose weight.

some LBC hazing rumors...
 

Sigma Kappa nationals are beyond ultra strict. We had a "stoplight" exchange with Sigma Pi, and our nationals got mad because everybody had to wear different colors. (Everybody was wearing either red, yellow, or green to signal their availability)...Anywho.....

But here are some fun rumors...

*One of the sororities gets all of their new members very drunk...makes them take off their clothes, except their underwear, then their big sis buries their clothes in the ground, and the new members have to dig them up...after they find them that is.

*Another sorority does "drop-offs" they drop all of the new members off in a different parts of the ghetto (well...it is Long Beach...and the new members have to find their way back to the house

*One of the fraternities does Elephant Walk.......yuck

*Another fraternity soaks their pledges in oil and makes them wrestle each other.

-ewww....
Lil Snakey K

Hehe! No problem, Lexi! :) I was surprised when I heard that rumor myself.

LilSnakeyK-

Do you go to CSULB? If you do...do you have chapter houses? I went to visit my cousing at CSULB a few months ago and I didn't see any houses.

pbpck

CSULB chapter houses
 

pbpck,

I am a CSULB alumna. Yes, Long Beach State fraternities and sororities do have chapter houses. The reason you didn't see any is because there is no Greek Row. None of the houses are "near" the university per say. Most are about 2+ miles away - one fraternity's house is realllly far (and in a realllly bad part of town).

Though, I sorta want to clarify lilsnakeyk's comment. Contrary to popular rap songs, Long Beach is not a giant ghetto! :) The areas around the college are actually quite nice. But yes, there are some bad neighborhoods.

To stay on topic....I haven't heard any crazy hazing rumors about Long Beach State as far as IFC, NPC or NPHC go. However, lilsnakeyk can probably vouch for me when I say that there's one Hispanic Co-Ed fraternity on campus that does interesting things! They make their pledges wear a wooden stick around their neck advertising their pledge status. They have to greet actives with rehearsed sayings and wear crazy costumes. About two semesters ago, I saw a couple of the guys dressed up to look like they were homosexuals. :rolleyes: BTW - these aren't rumors, they're true. This group, for some reason, makes no effort to hide the fact that they do these things. This last spring they got into major trouble for paddling a member during a scavenger hunt. The student was injured and ended up filing a police report. [big sigh] Rumors or not, hazing is just plain stupid.

......navane :)

OK, this is not a rumor - it really happened to a guy I was close friends who as at another university. This frat took groups of pledges (usually 4 at a time) to a goat farm, undressed them to their undies, covered them in honey, tied them to a post, and left them overnight. I know its wrong, but I lmao when he came home the next morning. Just imagining those honey covered men trying to fend off the goats - and god knows what else - cracks me up.

Also, when I was at UTK, I remember someone bringing a naked pledge to the courtyard (the middle of 4 dorms) and tied him to the flag pole and began singing "twinkle twinkle little star". I heard the singing and my friend looked out and screamed "ahhhh yeah that dude is naked!" Needless to say everyone was looking out the windows, and I guess his gf saw him, because she rushed outside and took her sweater off to try to cover him up! Haha!

In the words of Flounder, "Boy are we having fun yet"!

DUMB<STUPID< DUMB< and DAMN DUMB< And Damn anything!

If someone tied to me through that I would have had Killer instinct!!:mad:

NONONO! A thousand times NONO!

This is why we see us on TV and In Newspapers! And chapters taken off Campus! Law Suits!:(

We have the same rumors that everyone else here is mentioned. it's funny though, because every year I see athletic teams out on campus or in the village in their tied together in their underwear singing Backstreet Boys songs at the top of their lungs or something equally inane...

This has yet to get the attention of the campus newspaper.

You know, its funny (or not) that I was hazed more joining marching band in high school than I was joining a sorority in college. Yet its Greeks who get bad names. And I know of plenty of high school athletes that are tortured to become sport team members..... Just some food for thought!

Re: some LBC hazing rumors...
 

We used to do something like that at debate tourneys! You know those sheets of star stickers that have red, gold, green, blue and silver? Well you got one, two or three stars...

Red: Signifigant Other - Stop
Yellow: Dating - Proceed with caution
Green: Single - Go!
Blue: Special Prefrences (can be added to above)
Silver: Will do anything (kinky really... and can be added to above)

It was funny, but also handy to see who was available!



Also, my friend from HS was in a 'local band org' if you can call it that, at his school. We had heard that they had to 'have relations' with a sheep to get it. I didnt believe it, so I went up to him and asked him if it was true. All he did was look at me and say "Im in the fraternity arent I?!"

EWWWWW!

My favorite hazing rumor is of a sorority on campus that has a rep for being spoiled Daddy's girls. They apparently make their pledges go to each sister's house or room and catalog their wardrobes. After that, sisters ask them, "How many pairs of black pants do I own?" and "How many Steve Maddens do I have?" and the pledges get yelled at if they don't know. :rolleyes:

We have one fraternity on campus that has since lost it' charter for hazing and has gone underground. During the last week of pledging, none of the boys could say "I"- they had to refer to themselves in the 3rd person ("George says hi,"). Also, they weren't allowed to feed themselves- their pledge brothers had to feed them. It ws quite a sight to see these dirty boys in the cafeteria, saying, "Nate wants another french fry" and Scott feeding him the fries... not really subtle, were they?

ok, i've heard every rumor in the book. i've actually had a rushee ask me if we do ookie cookie. somebody mentioned it earlier. everyone jacks off on a cookie, last one to finish eats it. if that was the case i wouldn't be a tke. anyway, these things used to really happen. note to nationals: we've gotten rid of hazing since i've been a pledge, so no need to get all uptight.
of course we ask every candidate if they're allergic to wool (supposedly all tekes have an affinity for sheep). i've never seen a sheep in my life though. ok, baptismal: brothers spend 2 weeks doing whatever they want in a bucket and the pledges on the night before initiation have to dunk their heads in it. butt signing: we all had to get our signatures on our butts from a list of certain girls on campus. pledge train: act like a choo choo train and parade through all the sorority floors.
here are a couple of unfounded rumors, but things that i've been told are true by members of their very own house... elephant walk. switch: like elephant walk with one thumb in your mouth the other thumb, you know where, and switch! pledges (sorority) have to be able to squat on a champagne bottle and lift it off the ground. the best is a rumor in security, that they busted an underground fraternity with their pledges sitting in a trashcan full of water with wires pulled out of the lights in the ceiling. oh, i have so many more stories, but i've rambled enough.

A couple of years ago a NPC sorority here got in big trouble for hazing their pledges. It's a true story, not a rumor, as several people I know, including my roommate that year, were at the party and saw everything. Anywho..

It was their Bid Night party at a club off-campus. The initiated sisters encouraged the pledges to get as drunk as possible, and told them that they'd stay sober and watch out for them. They didn't. The sisters ended up writing things like "I'm a hot XYZ pledge and I'm not wearing any underwear", "F*ck me", "I want your dick", and other disgusting things all over their bodies and then sent them to walk the mile back to campus in the middle of the night (a horrible neighborhood in which a rapist was loose at the time) by themselves, completely sloshed...there was a huge snowstorm that night, and luckily nothing happened to any of the pledges..well, a couple went to the hospital for alcohol reasons, but none were attacked, miraculously.

Some things written here that people thought were rumors do happen, but are usually exaggerated. For me I I'm not sure what I can say. For the final week of my pledge semester all the pledges had to stay at our house. We weren't supposed to be anywhere else besides class, without telling somebody. The idea of that wasn't to haze us but to get us to spend more time together to bond. I personally also did a lot of crazy stuff too, that nobody said they were going to kick me out of the fraternity if I didn't do. People should just be a little open minded and realize there is probably a little truth to all the stories.

When I was a freshman at SMU, a Pike pledge came up to my all-girl floor with his big brother and a permanent marker and asked every girl on the floor to sign his body. He couldn't go back until he was #1 covered with sigs, #2 his penis was signed! I signed his stomach, and I heard rumors about which girls had signed butt cheeks and, ahem, you know...but who knows.

As a fellow man I think it safe to say that, that was something he didn't mind doing, and was probably glad his brothers gave him an excuse to do it.

No respectable girl would sign the privates of a guy. That's just tacky...I don't care if he liked it. :rolleyes:

I agree Hootie! I think that's so awful! Whoever the girl was should be ashamed of herself.

Jess

We aren't discussing the integrity of the girl, I was just commenting on how it's not hazing if you want to do it.

Tyler, you might want to check out the definitions of hazing on www.stophazing.com

My chapter went on a roadtrip for a weekend to visit another chapter on a different campus., that all the pledges were "recomended" to go on. I had the best weekend of my college career, and you're going to try and tell me that was hazing???? If your not why don't you visit that website and read the definition.

Craziest rumor I've heard was that some sorority makes their pledges wash toilets in the sorority house with their hair! Honestly, who comes up with this bs?!

These are rumors at my campus, but I am pretty sure they are true:

i have heard rumors of making pledge classes eat an entire pack of cigarettes(even the box and plastic).

i have also heard that a fraternity ties their pledges hands behind their backs. the pledges must put the fire in the fireplace out by waddling to the toilet and getting a mouth full of water to spit on the flame.

blind-folding pledges and telling them to drop their boxers while an entire sorority sits watching.

beer bonging a gold fish.

supposedly during a certain fraternities hell week their pledges have to clean up one of their parties by drinking whatever is in leftover cups and beer cans(cig. butts, chew, etc.)

At another school I have heard of the elephant walk. Don't really want to describe it.

i heard of sororities branding their pledges the night before their initiation night, i've heard of pledges not being allowed to talk to anyone or shower during thier I week and i've heard of the cirlicing the fat thing on our campus. i know that the talking thing is true, i've witnessed it personally, but i have no idea if the rest of it is.

My favorite rumors about our house are 1) naked pillow fights in the basement (its locked and there only one key so no one can get in there) as part of inition which we then watch every year in the spring and 2) we take our NM to the nearest corn field ( oh about 30 min away BY CAR) and drop them off and they have to find their way back to the house for inition ( and the non-existant pillow fight). As we all know, none of this is true :-P although i love being asked about it cuz i get to laught at them and tell em its true knowing that in reality our NM's get spoiled beyond belief :-P Some of the ones from the other houses are : steal at least one thing from every fraternity house, the infamous coffin and dead owl and one of the fraternities appearently had to keep live mice and take them to class with them and at the end of the week ( after attached to them) they had to kill em or feed em to a snake or something.....riiiight :rolleyes: those are the recent ones from our campus....

A fraternity at my school (who everyone wishes would just drop off the face of the earth people all of their members are TRASH) makes their pledges go to Panhellenic when the sororities are having meetings and take pictures of their chapter rooms.

Okay - the set up at my school is there is one huge dorm for sororities. Each sorority has their own chapter room to hold meetings and rituals. Luckily that night when they openned our CHAPTER ROOM DOOR to take a picture of us during meeting, it was only agenda and not ritual. We lock the door for ritual anyways - but still.

It just irks me. What if another sorority abesent mindedly forgot to lock their door for a ritual meeting, and these jerks openned the door and took a picture of it?

Well obviously you can see why we all hate them! Ugh. If someone said hey I know blah blah's ritual would you like me to tell you - I would defintily say no. That secret is something you have to respect, and obviously these guys didn't.

Oh well, they already got kicked out of their big house a few years ago and now have to live in this crappy house. Their membership has completely dropped - and they wonder why.
