Excerpts:
An internal investigation of a hazing incident at the Alpha Phi sorority found that sorority sisters pressured a new member to drink several shots of alcohol.
Leaders with Alpha Phi International say they will continue to investigate the alleged hazing incident at its University of Colorado chapter.
"Thus far, we believe the incident was isolated to one new member of Alpha Phi who was pressured by other members to drink several shots of alcohol," said Linda Kahangi, executive director of Alpha Phi . . . . "Each member involved has a judiciary board hearing scheduled and will be dealt with individually.
Kahangi told the Camera that the sorority is not aware of any physical abuse.
"What we understand so far is that she was verball encouraged to drink," she said. . . . |
I hope the individual girls do actually get punished for this. Many freshmen don't have the balls or know-how to face a situation like that and just say no, especially if they're afraid of being shunned, kicked out, etc. The urge to fit in is very strong. I have no sympathy for "verbally encouraging" someone to do something that is potentially dangerous.
