hi- well basically I pledged a different sorority before joining nu sig- they shall remain nameless- and I have many friends in that sorority- but the hazing was too intense- i personally don't ever want anyone to go through that- it was military boot camp practically- the flip side is that it brought everyone together- and iknow that my friends woldn't trade it for the world- i wish i could have finished- but after three weeks and severe panic attacks 3 times a day- i was finsihed.... I took some time off and then pledged nu sig- i lvoed it and became very close with my sisters... after my experience- even though it was awful at the time- i think it is imperative to bring sisters together- i've been on both sides and I know that it is difficult for someone who has not been through it- to speak on it.... I think that pledging is necessary- they are not active sisters yet- they need to know their information- to know the sisters- they do not need to be intimidated or humiliated in any way, shape or form. Kidnapping activites are fun- we had our pledges go to another schools campus and find all kinds of crazy things- they loved it- my pledge class did too- they know our history- songs and yea they had to do stuff- but we all look back on it fondly- honestly- i find it hard to beleive that there can be true sisterhood and closeness if they meet with their sorority once a week or on special events- each person's experience is different and thats waht makes us all different-
