As for hazing....this is on the MTV Website, the official home of "Sorority Life", Under Jordan' (a "pledge") in her interview:


What was the worst thing about pledging?
Having to relive childhood experiences - having to dig up old memories because you're reminded by their cruelty. You know how mean kids can be? It was like [it was] happening all over again - having to relive it. Therapeutic but painful.

Notice "...by their cruelty."....to me, thats hazing!

I guess you have a pretty strange definition of hazing. I know you don't know the whole situation and I don't have time to explain it all, but trust me, no hazing went on. Who was cruel to Jordan? Does it say? Even if she was referring to sisters, heated arguments and personal issues are considered "hazing"? I think of hazing as humiliation, degradation or physical pain, and possibly associated with some sort of rite of passage. Another good way to define hazing would be by going with the definition from your military code/school/org./NPC. Ok, hypothetical situation, I join a frat/sorority and have some arguments and yelling matches with one or two of the members, maybe even get in a fight. I feel like that member or even the whole org. was cruel to me and I feel left out. The whole situation reminded me of some bad childhood memories. I was just hazed? I'm pretty sure that's just called having an argument, getting in a fight, not fitting in,drama, being mean, feeling left out and unwelcome, bad mojo(thanks Austin Powers), whatever you want to call it depending on which side you are on, but not hazing. I would be just a bit surprised if, in hypothetical land, that frat/sorority was booted off campus for hazing (insert sarcasm).



sorry lioness, it's my last one i promise hehe
