Hi Tara!
I joined Sigma Kappa in the fall of this year, and I can tell you straight up that no one even THOUGHT about hazing us. The roughest thing that went on during my pledge period was my big sis taking me on an all-expenses-paid weekend trip to Disney World.
You have to learn the history of your sorority and stuff like that, but NEVER let anyone tell you that hazing is acceptable in ANY form, and certainly not like what you were talking about. If you rush (and I hope you do!) the odds are overwhelming that you will join a house that is full of girls who will love you and take care of you, and never even think about hazing. However, if you ever get into a position where you feel uncomfortable with something you're supposed to be doing for your house, don't do it. It's that simple
. If it's something you think needs attention, tell the new member educator or the president, or go to someone outside of the house. The important thing is that you are safe and happy
.
