Real life and the MTV version of a sorority are completely different. Just sit back and relax... enjoy this time, and do NOT worry about hazing. Honestly, sororities do not haze as a whole... if there are some rogue elements that do, please dismiss them. Do not do anything you are not comfortable with.... but right now, just relax and enjoy yourself and smile.... you are so close!!!! congrats!
this is a great thought, but if no one hazes then why do chapters get shut down for hazing? yes, hazing is illegal. yes, npc and ifc glos have prohibited hazing. does it still happen? yes.

pink- if you find that you are being hazed, take ginger's advice and run!!!! as far as initiation goes, i think that it is a misconception that initiation is some scary thing where you are expected to do terrible things to get accepted. think of it more like a wedding ceremony. it is beautiful, special and definately not scary at all!
