Also, that most hazed students were actually doing the acts their abusers asked them to do. If someone tries to leave a dangerous situation are they harmed? Or are they allowed to freely leave?
Does anyone know if University of Idaho still has problems with hazing? Do most universities have hazing problems? Should I not even rush? I am so terrified of this, so any serious information or experiences would be appreciated.
Are there any tips anyone has to look out for early signs that may foreshadow hazing that I should look for before I am in a dangerous situation?

I think it is good to be aware of hazing. No Greek organizations that I know of endorse hazing. If any hazing is done it is usually by a couple of bad apples not the whole group. I certainly wouldn't let this hold you back from participating in recruitment. I don't know any thing about the University you site or the groups there. I don't think there are any warning signs if a group is going to haze you. I would treat sorority life like your own life, if some thing is going on that makes you feel uncomfortable leave and tell some one.
