I told her that she should do what she thinks is best for her. I pointed out some of the things she enjoys doing that are available in a sorority and that it was one way to make the big campus smaller. I told her that she should ask about hazing during orientation for rush, if she decided to go through. From what I've learned on this board, I told her that I was pretty confident that what happened at GBN would be frowned upon by the national organizations.
A little later, she'd picked up the brochure again and asked me about philanthropy. So who knows what she'll end up doing. But I wonder if other girls who've seen that tape over and over again are thinking the same thing.

Momoftwo, I'm sure they are. I was hazed in high school and it did make me very leery of joining a sorority, because the ones on my first campus were all locals, with the exception of my group. I ended up not rushing until my sophomore year. At Big 10 schools, I couldn't see sorority hazing being a big problem, and I think Sugar and Spice will back that up.
