I am sorry to hear of your horrible experience and I must say that if anything like that had been done to me, I too would have de-pledged. I would encourage you to report this however. There is zero tolerance for hazing among National GLOs and Universities and it will only continue for others if nobody stands up and puts a stop to it. I remember going through my "pledge" period with this whole list of things in my head that "if they do this to me..", I would depledge. I was in tears the week before Initiation, convinced that was the week I was going to be hazed and have to quit and I really had enjoyed the women of my sorority. It was going to be so sad to say goodbye to them. To my delight and amazement, the hazing never happened and in April, I will have been a member of AGD for 20 years. I am still active in an alumnae club and as a volunteer for AGD. I disagree that some hazing is necessary. Somehow, I developed a love and dedication for AGD that will never end, without being hazed, but by being respected, loved and nurtured.
