To add to this delightful list:
Erm, hazing _does_ happen. Circle the fat isn't just a rumor on my campus; a member of a fraternity mentioned to one of my sisters that his fraternity had participated in some heinous hazing on behalf of certain sororities. And a frat on my campus got disbanded and is currently under investigation because they had a bonfire inside the school-owned dormitory with all their pledges sitting around in diapers. I think the guys are all idiots and that those sororities who want them back as a legit fraternity are on crack. Any GLO who does that to their NMs and school property doesn't deserve to be called Greek. |
Hazing on my campus does occur, but that's probably because greek life here has been around since almost the beginning of GLOs!
Our nationals has really strict rules regarding hazing and we follow them but because we are the only house on campus that "doesn't haze" people don't believe us and think that we just do it behind closed doors. One of my sisters got into an argument with another greek about the fact that we don't make our NMs do anything horrible, she just couldn't believe it. Of course we have heard tons of rumors about other houses, and Of course, these are rumors but most of them are probably true, or at least have a seed of truth in them somewhere. Just to name a few... handing out your phone number to random guys on the street midnight summons circle the fat dressing up in funny outfits chosen during hell week actives getting their NMs completely drunk...repeatedly spelling tests of actives first and last names and from what i hear, the fraternities are even worse... |
As for the last 2 posts, I don't believe that anyone ever has or would circle fat. It's pointless anyway--like it would encourage people to lose weight?:rolleyes: --and when new posters bring it up right off, I'm suspicious. *Somebody* seems to be trying to dissuade rising freshmen from rushing.
|
I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from rushing. I'm just pointing out the unfortunate fact that hazing does indeed occur and rising freshmen should be alert for any gut warnings. I mean, a lot of what I've read on this thread is rather amusing in a ridiculous manner, but unfortunately on my campus, hazing does occur in the aforementioned fashions. Let's not forget the fraternities making their pledges march single file behind a brother in exactly his footsteps...*sigh*
I'm proud to be a member of my sorority, especially since AST doesn't haze. However, we seem to be the only ones, because all the other sororities on my campus have, at the very minimum, a 'Hell Week'. What goes on during this period varies from group to group, but just making your NM's have to deal with an additionally stressful time before they can hope for initiation is hazing regardless. One of my friends was exhausted by her Hell Week, and her sorority just runs them ragged with errands instead of abusing them emotionally. Anyhow, I was just trying to give a cautionary heads up. Sorry if I seemed to have some weird, dubiously heinous motive behind my post.:cool: |
I laugh anytime someone brings up the goat thing because of something that happened to my boyfriend.
For intiation, they always go to some random obscure place out in the middle of nowhere the night before. Well they were outside and it was pitch black but the actives knew where they were going. All of a sudden they heard a cow moo. My boyfriend's pledge class got the crap scared out of them because for a split second they thought that all those things they'd heard about what fraternities do to pledges was true! Of course though, it wasn't. It gave everyone a good laugh though. Now they all laugh their asses off about it. I do too because I can just imagine the horrified look on my boyfriend's face. |
I agree, carnation. Circle the fat doesn't happen...as often as people believe. However, it did at one point 6 years ago on my campus. A fraternity brother that is a friend of mine showed me pictures they stole from a sorority house. It was horrifying.
If any PNMs are reading this...DON'T let these rumors discourage you!!! 99.9% of the time that's just what they are...rumors! Maybe things did happen at one time, but rules and people joining GLOs have changed for the better. |
there was a rumor here that one of sigma chi's presidents stuck a twinkie on his dick and made a pledge eat it off,,,,hence why sigma chi's nickname here is the twinkies now, I doubt its true though who knows.
PHI SIGMA KAPPA-damn proud |
Oh, this is making me laugh! Hmm, let's see:
Supposedly... A sorority makes their pledges do coke The infamous circling of fat XYZ makes their pledges strip for fraternity guys I was sitting in our late-night diner one night and I saw some guys eating at full speed and talking about how they had to get to the house. Apparently, they had to gain 5 pounds in one day. :rolleyes: I don't know which fraternity they were in, though. |
ok, i have a novel hazing rumor thingie:take a leak or f*ck a Teak (TKE)
yup, the girls had to stand outside the TKE house and either pee in front of everyone or go inside and well..... everytime i tell this to TKE, they all cheer jokingly. i heard the basketball thing, but it was on newspaper. lets see, there is the group that makes the new girls make out with each other (personally, I think a guy made this one up for his fantasy).... we do have a few things that happened back in the 80's, but the rumors that they still go on exsit- there is scavenger hunts where you have to steal property and take pic in front of all the girls houses and be back by 2am; a frat held a loaded gun to someone's head, the beatings, etc etc etc |
Potential New Members: Most of what's been written have been rumors, while others have been truths... Please note that what we post on this thread is not how all Greek Organizations are, and only a very small percentage of Greek Life actually have to experience these pratices...
Unfortunately, I know a lot of greeks that have gone through a lot of crap during their pledge period. These are just some that I know of... (All from different orgs, schools, etc.) A friend of mine and his pledge class had to steal a street light, and bring it back to the house. There is a frat that makes it's pledges dress in drag before they will be initiated. Some of the greeks I know were paddled regularly as pledges. Another fraternity makes it's plegdes make their class paddle by hand... Once they're done, they are to present it to the brothers... Then the brothers will paddle the pledges until the wood breaks. The military style line ups are very common around here. I know a girl that now walks with a cane, because she messed up her knee from dropping during her line up. Uniforms are also very common. One group has to wear black suits and ties during their whole pledge period, another group wears jumpsuits, but the most common uniforms are sweats. And the sororities aren't allowed to wear make-up and HAVE to have their hair a certain way... I looked through a fraternity's photo album during Welcome Week, and saw some really nasty stuff!!! Pictures: There were pledges in their uniforms... Then there were pledges taking off their uniforms, showing some speedos underneath... Then the pledges were doing push ups in their speedos... And the last picture was of the actives masturbating on the pledges backs! :eek: A lot of groups on campus have the No Talking rule, during pledging. Some groups only allow the pledges to talk to the actives... And some groups will allow the pledges to speak to someone if that person addresses them. But they have to keep it at a minimum. I know of pledges having to carry around certain items, like bricks, pledge keys or manuals, the wooden pledge tiki around the neck, etc. A few organizations have the "moment of breakdown"... Where their pledges aren't allowed to cross (during the night of initiation) until they breakdown and cry. Then there is the ever present "branding" that goes on. ~Beth |
Well there were no real descriptions of the hazing activities that took place amonngst the national sororities at my school.. however during rush last fall the local sororities were telling PNMs that "the nationals think they're better, but really they just cost more and they haze" Umm... so why is it I see women walking around campus in matching sweat outfits and ugly pins and "greeting" people "hello big sister?" cause I KNOW those aren't members of my sororoity... nor the other two NPC orgs. on campus...

One of my sisters was in a local sorority and dropped before she initiated because she was hazed so badly. This was a while ago, so I don't know if the sorority still does it, but she said they each had to carry a live goldfish with them 24/7, whether it was to class, to a bar, in their car, etc. They also had to carry a brick wrapped like a present in their backpacks. During Hell Week, they had to wear bells on their shoelaces so sisters could hear them coming.
They had a point system in the form of a matchbook. If they did anything wrong, a matchstick was taken away. If all their matches were taken, they were forced to depledge. They were also woken up at 3am one night and forced to wear robes, slippers, and curlers in their hair. Then, they drove around doing chinese fire drills. Another sorority made thier pledges wear a ponytail for everything they did wrong. Imagine seeing a girl with five or six ponytails walking through the quad. Why some girls put up with this is beyond me... |
Ok so not to sound bitchy or anything, but I have to get this off my chest: it seems that a lot of people on this site have a serious problem with local sororities. I have heard a lot of stories about the awful things that local sororities do and how they haze and have poor leadership, etc. Well I would just want to say that I am in a local sorority and I can't say that any of the rumors I've heard are true. We are very involved with the school and are in extremely good standing with the administration. We have won Club of the Year at my school for the past 2 years in a row and have sponsored a vast variety of community service projects at my school including a penny drive for the Pediatric AIDS foundation, 2 blood drives, Take back the Night, etc. In addition, I would just like to say that WE DO NOT HAZE. I just pledged this past semester and I was never once made to feel inferior. The sisters definitely listened to us and when there were things that we felt uncomfortable doing we were told not to worry and we just wouldn't have to do them. As a result, I have formed a very close bond with my sisters and whenever I put on my letters I feel so proud to be part such a wonderful organization. When I hear comments from members of national organizations that are degrading to locals, it makes me angry, because while we may not have a national board behind us, we have a great executive board and 30 sisters.

One fraternity hazing I witnessed:
For a big sis revealing, the actives made their nm's get dressed up in strange outfits and were blindfolded, they had to stand in a line and they had to pass a stick with a cup of water on it down the line, if it was spilled, they had to start over. Then they made them sing, and for the finale, the big sis' had to buy a huge mug and before the pledges could see their big sis, they had to chug the entire mug of beer, some guys were refilling the nm's mugs if they weren't going fast enough. I also know of a hazing having to deal with a very angry horse. All I know is that one fraternity has this horse, that they don't feed for a while and the pledges get to meet this horse at some point. The guy who told me about this wouldn't say anything more. One of the Asian fraternities supposedly makes all their new members ejaculate on a cracker and eat it...there is no contest, they all get their own ejaculate cracker. I've seen one of the Asian sororities making their nm's dress up in various crazy things...one day they were in Ralph's dressed up as Smurfs (complete with blue paint, diapers...etc.) |

That is wonderful that YOUR local sorority does not haze. (I'm not being sarcastic, really, it is good.) However, not all local sororities are like that. The local sororities and fraternities at my last school hazed - openly. Because locals don't have a national board, they differ a lot from campus to campus and GLO to GLO. |

I don't think anybody on here was doing that - this argument has been had before. People were saying "The locals at my school do blah blah blah..." which is equivelant to saying "The chapter of QVC at my school..." I wouldn't assume anything about a local I know nothing about. However, I can name about 10 locals off the top of my head in Wisconsin that DO haze and embarass the Hell out of other GLOs. Yes, I realize there are nationals that haze - that happens on campuses besides yours. However, I don't think anybody came on here and said "Every single local in the whole world hazes because the one on my campus does." That would be like saying "Every single Gamma Phi Beta is beautiful because the ones at Miami are." It's flawed logic. We were all relating stories about our campus. If you re-read my post, I said that locals differ from campus to campus because they are local and have no national board. Nowhere did I say they are horrible terrible hazers because they have no national board. Don't infer things into posts that aren't there. I was trying to make the point that I was not talking about all locals, but rather the ones at Wisconsin - Platteville. </rant> |
DaisyKLP, I think you need to relax!
The point of this thread is to relate the usually HILARIOUS and NOT TRUE stories we've all heard about greek hazing. Does anyone remember that movie about the sorority house that was knocked down? There was a dead baby inside the walls! This would have been like a Lifetime special from the late 80s, from what I remember.... and it was billed as made-up, not "based on a true story," but still. OH -- also, "Outer Banks," by I forget who, has the main character, Kate, join a sorority -- I think Omega Omega Omega? it was made up -- where the initation ritual involved big and little sis kissing. Of course, later in the book one of her former pledge sisters attacks the others in a homicidal frenzy. |
Guys, this thread has been fun, but perhaps it's best if we let it die. Yeah, we've all heard some hazing rumors, but I'd hate for some propsective rushee/new member/etc. to stumble across this thread. It is that time of year, after all. Just something to think about...

Daisy KLP,
I am well aware that there are locals that do not haze, and I would never intentionally say anything that would promote the image that ALL local ALL across the country haze. I DO know from experience (I was a pledge of one of the locals at my school) that MOST of the locals ON MY campus DO haze.. (btw LadyJ that sorority still does use the matchbook system) and the NPC orgs all thought it was funny that locals were spreading the rumor that we haze. I was by no means attempting to down play the importance of local orgs becuase they are important and do some great work for the community and campus... I just happen to know the ones on my campus happen to haze too. |
Things like pledge class greetings, pins and bandanna worn around the leg or arms are done by most GLO's on campus (not by us however! We jut have a small pin). I have heard (and seen) other things, such as seprating sprinkles, militarty line ups where they are quized on informatiom about the group and about sisters personal lives as well (what they like, if they have a bf, #, address, etc) One group dosen;t allow its pledges to speak to guys at all for the last 4+ weeks or so of pledging. Scavanger hunts also are done by a few GLO's

bump funny thread
|
I heard the circle the fat rumors at IU...the Zetas were the ones who supposedly did it. (Not true according to the girl I knew who pledged freshman year.)
The elephant walk rumor I heard about two different houses that got kicked off campus for hazing. No idea how true that is...it's not something I wanted to ask. :eek: I know the Phi Beta Sigma chapter at IU does brand their members...I've seen some of them with the Sigma branded onto their forearm. Gave me the creeps the first time I saw it. |
I found this thread when I used google to find an old hazing article about a local high school. I've been very entertained!
My college boyfriend was in a frat and I always asked him about his hazing stories because they were so funny. Here's what he went through, and I assure you that it's all true because he wasn't clever enough to come up with this stuff on his own (hence, why he's my ex now, ha ha). -They'd boil cans of beer in a pot and he'd have to drink them. He said most guys chugged theirs to get it over with. -The pledges had to wear shirts and ties all week when not at the house. -When at the house, the pledge would wear a shirt designed by his big brother. Most of these were white T's with the nipples cut out. -The members told him that one night's ritual (sorry if wrong term) was really bad and kept insinuating it involved a sheep. The pledges were terrified when they were led blindfolded into a room and the members kept "bahh-ing" at them. Then two female strippers showed up and put on a girl-on-girl show complete with toys. -Pledges were put in the back of an SUV with their feet submerged in ice water while the members drove around town. -Paddling. He showed me his paddle. It had a groove in it from being spanked so much. -They could only eat whatever the members gave them. I forget details, but it was gross. The pledges were escorted to class to make sure they didn't try to sneak food. My ex's friend hid a $20 bill in the lining of his tie and they snuck out of class to get food. After they were allowed to eat normally again, they all went out to dinner, but no one could eat much because their digestive tracts were all messed up. -When a pledge had to go to the ER, they'd leave him at the ER doors because they couldn't let anyone know about the hazing. -Members used pledges as maids, errond-boys, etc.. -If not in class, they had to be at the house. -No showering. -They'd be woken in the middle of the night to do push-ups, sit-ups, etc. -Once they got a bid, pledges couldn't have sex. First night of Hell Week members asked who got laid last night. The kid that raised him hand got paddled. -Pledges would have to jump off the roof and hope the members would catch him. That's all I remeber. I heard that when a guy gives a girl his pin, his frat brothers do something evil to him. Since I was so amused by his stories, and we were so in love (blah, blah) he did give me his pin, but told me at our school it wasn't considered a big thing. Wonder if that's really true... |
here is one
it probably has been put on here but if not here it goes:
there is one sorority rumor on my campus that they put peanut butter on there pledges you know what, and had to let a dog lick it off.... |
I have heard the "fat circling" rumors about every sorority on my campus. It's ridiculous.
|
Rumor @ CSULB
Rumors on our campus are so ramdon
TKE (that's me)- We make the pledge jump off the St Vince Thomas Bridge (keep in my...people have died doing it in the past...not from TKE) SAE- they eat donuts off of their big bro Sig Pi- The circle J*** Kappa Sig- Eleplant Walk Gamma Phi Beta- The circle body fat on the girls Delta Delta Delta- They have a forum in meeting were they talk about guys they hooked up with a rate them ALpha Phi- they fine people that aren't wearing make-up All these rumors I feel are not true...I think they are craZY...If people do this stufff...why would they put up with it |

Has no one mentioned the flagpole? Pledges have to line up and crawl up a flagpole. The guy that goes up has a candy bar in his ass. If it falls out, the guy behind him has to eat it.
|
LOL..
Yeah, my roomate when I was pledging was CONVINCED that I was going to be thrown off the Vincent St. Thomas bridge (connects Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles/San Pedro)...
That, my friends, would certainly lead to death... If you know which bridge this is, you'd know that it would be suicide... That thing is a MAJOR bridge that has a height that probably rivals the George Washington bridge in the east... LOL... |
yall keep sayin all these hazing things are "rumors" i dont know about yalls schools but in the SEC hazing rumors are definitely not rumors, either yall's fraternities don't haze and can therefore be considered sororities or it's just completely covered up
|
I heard in the SEC they make their new members post 100 idiotic things to an internet message board before they can be initiated...
|
i also heard if you take sweet message boards like this one seriously it would make you fratty and that you could actually become cool in real life
|

this is a miserable board, yall just dont get it, i'm out

I was lurking about, and I read what a big deal pinning or laviliering(sp?) a girl is. I just wanted to say that when we broke up, I gave my ex his pin back, along with all of his shirts. My two best friends were in sororities at their schools, so I know how important those letters are. I hope all others do the same because my friends are always so sad when they see their pins on eBay! Sorry for the off-topic post.
