Like you, I was made aware of the accusations through some wacko email...and I'm a MEMBER of Chi Omega.
It's sad that this is still being spread through the world wide web. I wish there was someway to stop it, but in the meantime most of us have decided to let it slide off our backs and not bother with the [*name removed by Admin*] or their fabricated webpage.
I suggest you do the same. But I appreciate your question and yes...unfortunately hazing in sororities and fraternities does occur every now and then. But I ask you this...what is it then when a coach of a football team, or a military leader drills and belittles a person...isn't that too hazing.
Just something to think about.
Have a good day.

I missed that the name of the perosn in question had a name beginning with "V".
As for the military, I give them a lot more leeway as to what is hazing and what is not. Forcing people to stay outside in the rain overnight without sleep may quite reasonably be included in what is required to make one a soldier (sailor,airman), but not to make them a football player or a fraternity/sorority member.
