Though most of the NMs decided to tough it out for the privilege of being in a top chapter, Zoe de-pledged after a week because she couldn't see herself becoming close with her new sisters. Many of her good friends had pledged Venus, but of course she had to wait a full calendar year before she was eligible to receive another bid. She will be going through Recruitment again this year and has her heart set on Venus.

Poor Zoe. I have seen other chapters behave in this way. Not really "hazing" per se, but treating the new members like they haven't "earned the older members' respect yet". I hate to see members behave this way. I hope she finds a great home, and it sounds like your chapter can offer that to everyone!! Good luck, and I love hearing your story!
