I know a school off the top of my head that had similar, if not quite as severe, type activities for new members. It seemed to be the campus culture.

I don't doubt that it's true. I just think it was a stupid (and poorly executed) article to put in one's magazine. But it's Cosmo, so I'm not surprised.
At first, I actually thought this was an indirect "call for help"; that she was letting her sorority know what was going on without actually contacting HQ and saying, "My chapter hazes!" But with her replies to some of the people commenting on the article, I'm not so sure. She is completely defending her actions and dismissing the humiliation, fear, and sadness she felt when pledging. I believe she truly thinks this is a good thing.
And now people outside of her small school are going to know about it.
