My goodness, it certainly must have taken HOURS and HOURS of visiting thespankingblog.com and sifting through all the different kinds of spankings to find these pictures.

I'd say this sort of thing doesn't go on in the majority of greek life. Finding images that represent only the minority of greek life is a piss poor way of trying to make every greek organization look bad.

You DO realize that sororities and fraternities are not the only clubs/organizations to have paddles, right?

ETA: Good grief. One of those pictures looks like it's from a bachelorette party in a bar. Those girls may not have even gone to college. :rolleyes:

I just went back and read all of "Concerned451's" posts.:rolleyes: What a loser. Who would believe most of that junk? And why would GC care about random non-Greek hazings?

I don't care to visit the spanking blog but from what you guys have described, it's probably a bunch of morons who wouldn't know a college if it bit them posing as sorority girls. Just like we believe that all the sorority porn movies feature real Greeks.

I mean, what's the point? Are we suposed to get all up in arms about these so-called sorority paddlings? Maybe we should trace them down and report them to their supposed nationals, even if they did manage to snag some jerseys off of eBay? Should we shed a few tears for the "victims"?

Anybody who believes this poop, I have some swamp land in Florida I'd like to sell you....:D

Look, deflect the obvious all you want, and by all means, attack the messenger, but the pictures paint an ugly picture, and do so from a broad sampling. I would agree that this doesn't go on everywhere, but why does it occur at all? Why is it welcomed?

First of all, YOU'RE the one who entitled the thread "SORORITY paddle hazing." I'm just trying to point out that paddles/paddling is not a concept unique to Greek orgs. If you truly wanted to discuss why paddling occurs at all, you should have titled the thread "women being paddled" instead of pinning it on sororities like you did with the title.

Second of all, many NPC sororities have banned their members from owning paddles. If you'll notice, several of the pics you've posted are of sororities who are not even members of the NPC. There have been numerous discussions about rogue chapters whose behavior gives the rest of us a bad name.

Thirdly, some of those pics don't even look like they're actually paddling the girls. They look like they're being silly for the camera and holding the paddle up w/ the other girl sticking her butt in the air.

Finally, by my pointing out that other non-GLO groups have used paddling in the past (and, possibly in the present), I neither wrote nor implied that I thought it was acceptable. Get a grip.

I think this thread is a prime candidate for being locked.

ISUKappa 08-01-2005 11:34 AM

There are very few photos with sorority letters in them (or fraternity for that matter) so how do we know these are "sorority" photos? They could be anyone. And how do we know that they're doing it as part of ritual or that it's even condoned by the members? Since most of the photos seem to have both men and women in the photos and most involve drinking, I can pretty much guarantee that they're not associated with any sort of ritual done by the sorority (or fraternity). And a whole bunch of the photos look like they're staged or the people are doing it for "fun" (not that that excuses the practice).

You can't take a bunch a photos from a website that "claims" they're sorority paddling incidents when you have no idea what the pictures are originally from. Just because they appear to show someone getting paddled doesn't mean that's necessarily what happened. Were you there? Can you tell us exactly what happened in each and every one of those photos?

Yes, it's a shame that these types of things still happen, even if only in jest, but by coming on here and showing us, oh about 60+ photos (none of which can be verified), you're not really helping the cause either.

moe.ron 08-01-2005 11:47 AM

What's your proposal to combat sorority paddle hazing?

carnation 08-01-2005 11:47 AM

:rolleyes: I bet I know who this is. John, IP check, please? And if it's who I think, I call for a ban.

Err, no, you mean the person who see's the pictures online and who never lifted a finger against anyone, and who debunks favored myths?

No, just you. Why don't you tell us what you have done about about these pictures/situations? I mean other than posting links to get people to visit your blogs.

Look, go ahead and lock the thread or do whatever it is you do when you don't agree with something, but as for asking me what I've done with these pictures(BTW, I'm not affiliated with that blog or any other)well, if only one girl see's those pictures and is compelled to make sure she or someone she knows doesn't end up being coaxed or deceived into a similar situation, than good enough. I'll leave now.

This has been driving me nuts too. Your post was like a refreshing tonic on a balmy summer day.

I'm still trying to figure out what George W has to do with any of this.

No. The people responsible for the paddling have the paddles in their hands and those who are willing to be paddled. I am asking you, what have YOU done other than posting these pictures on GC? You seem to have a great deal of e-courage. Why don't you take some "real life" initiative and trace these pictures to the source. Contact the victims and assist them in contacting the police and pressing charges. That would be of more service than anything else.

YOUR HISTORY: When you posted here for the first time a few months ago, you were planning to rush, but because of the hazing that went on at your high school, you were concerned you might end up in a GLO and be hazed.

It seems to me you have the common sense not to allow something like that to happen to you-- that you would walk away and report it.

WHO ARE YOU? But what I don't understand is that you've only ever posted in the Risk Management Forum. If you are a PNM, surely you would be interested in the positive aspects of sorority life. Why are you so hung up on anti-hazing education? Have you checked out the community service, social, campus life and recruitment aspects to sorority membership? You do realize that sororities, by nature, don't paddle and harrass their members, right? That isn't why they were created and with the exception of a few deviants who should not be members, we aren't in the business of breaking each other down.

Unless of course, you've lied in previous posts and you're just posting inflammatory information (instead of reporting it to the proper authorities).

GREEK STANCE ON HAZING: Anti-hazing education and reporting hazing to the proper sources are VERY important-- we want to protect our members from harm by ill-intentioned members (who should have their membership revoked through due process).

TO SUMMARIZE: Go away. You're not opening any kind of constructive dialogue. If you've observed specific hazing from photos posted online, please do report it. But this is a message board not a Greek HQ or University Administration.

Remind me again when the last time any person in a leadership role at the national/international level ever advocated paddling.

cashmoney 08-01-2005 01:35 PM

damn yo, you guys are coming down on this peep like white on rice. Where the hell is diversity on GC? :o




-Calling for a person's ban based a few posts they made is like George W. Bush walking around with his finger up his ass. Its not gonna happen. :)

Me too, considering I agreed with all of carnation's post and I think you can rightfully say that I'm one of the least Republican posters on GC.

For the record, my non-Greek friends were fascinated by my dolphin-shaped Tri Delta paddle, and on more than one drunken occasion they would bring that thing out and pose for pictures pretending to smack each other with it. Was there ANY sorority hazing going on in those pictures? No. Were there even any sorority members in them? No. Did it look like there was? Sure.

I am not responsible for what happens across the Greek system. I am responsible for what happened in my chapter.

And now I'm off to tan, because it's way too nice to spend this day in front of the computer.

Rudey 08-01-2005 01:51 PM

Regardless of whether it happened or it didn't happen, boy were they stupid to joke about it and then take pictures of it and then let it get into the hands of someone that published them.

Six degrees of George W. Bush:

paddles is part of sorority legacy
sorority is part of the greeklife
fraternity is part of the greek life

But dear sisterhavana, those are oars, not paddles ;) Paddling is something we do to warm up, not putting any pressure on the oars..after all, putting pressure on would be hazing ;)

But I believe that is Syracuse's womens 8+...and they are indeed quite good!

For real. And my aqua-colored shirt wouldn't have come out of the wash with red spots on it even though I didn't wash it with anything red.

Thankfully, Howard Dean's Shout stain remover got them out. :D

Exactly - he's responsible for every problem, from the founding of the United States to the present day.

Today I'm blaming him for the microwave not working in the staff kitchen.
