I totally agree, with you Lady Pi Phi on the hazing thing. Actually the two organizations that do it are both National. One requires getting a tattoo of their organizations letters on the ankle and the other brands their letters on the their arms or shoulders. I can't say if there have ever been any exceptions for not getting it done (medical reasons, just not wanting it ... whatever). I don't know if it is still going on, but I know that it went on every year I was an undergrad. I am also pretty darn sure that this is NOT something that their National organization knows about or condones.
Personally, I didn't even go with my sisters to get my tattoo, in fact most of them didn’t even know I had gotten one for weeks. It was a choice I thought about for two years and when I felt sure of my decision, that’s when I got it.
Tattoos are permanent and I think it is horrible that anyone should be forced into the decision of getting one, if it is not what they really want.
