First of all, if any chapter does haze, they're not going to tell you about it, much less post it on this site.

Secondly, I can tell you that my chapter doesn't haze.. at all. AST in general has a very very low tolerance for it, and if for some reason any of our chapters were caught doing anything even remotely close to hazing, I wouldn't be surprised if they found themselves in some very deep trouble (or possibly in danger of losing their charter).

As for other sororities and other campuses, I can't really say. But I wouldn't think that the size of the chapter would really matter. My chapter has about 13 girls right now, and we don't haze at all. But I know of sororities on other campuses who have that same amount of girls, and they do haze. And I've heard of much larger chapters hazing, also. So you can't really classify it in terms of size.

And again, every chapter at every campus differs.

And yes, generally the new member period is for teaching the traditions, values, processes, procedures, and background info concerning the sorority. Sisterhood events like dinners, sleepovers, and other bonding activities are usually part of the process, as well.

The new member process definitely isn't intended to terrorize or physically and/or emotionally harm the new members.
