Well, tonight is our next pledge activity. I can't make it tonight, and need to tell my pledge chair that, so that is when I plan to talk to her about everything.
To answer some of your questions, I am in a somewhat unusual situation... I'm 25, and a "returning student"... I just go part time and work during the day. Part of what gives me pause about this whole deal is that I wonder if I'm just being an old fart

My pledge sisters looked uncomfortable, but none of them spoke up. The only time someone said anything was when we were blindfolded, and we have a deaf girl in my pledge class, and the poor thing was just terrified. Other than that though, the other girls seemed like they were having fun (except for the drinking part). I'm also concerned because i don't know if I can pledge the NPC sorority because I'm a part-time student. I emailed the Membership VP yesterday, but did not mention yet that I'm not an 18 year old full time student
I have decided to depledge this sorority, though... I have had other issues with them already beyond the hazing issue, and I've decided that as much as I would love to help these girls see the light, so to speak, that I must put myself, and my obligations to my family first.
Yall are wonderful, thank you for all of your advice! If you have any suggestions as to what to say to my pledge chair (who I adore, so I don't want to be mean, but i do want to explain to her that what they are doing IS hazing), I would really appreciate it!
