As far as regional reputations, in my opinion, the northeast has earned its reputation for hazing, particularly with sororities. This is mostly due to the now defunct ruling by the SUNY system to prohibit national social GLOs. Locals tend to be far worse, with regard to risk management issues, and tend to pull entire greek systems down to the lowest common denominator. There are exceptions, but I know that SUNY administrators regret that old ruling and are fed up with locals. Many of the "smaller sororities" mentioned in this thread are at many of these schools and have not taken a proactive role in reforming these greek systems, as evidenced by not participating in the Genesis Project by several of these groups.

If the only way you can trust your sisters is to keep national staff there with them forever, you might as well close the chapter and say screw it.
Not participating in the Genesis Project? Come ON. That's like saying the groups that don't participate in Kristen's Story are in favor of rape. In case you don't realize, participating in things like that costs MONEEEEEEE. Maybe they feel that using that money on their chapters and their SISTERS is a better idea than putting it into a group whose purpose is still somewhat murky. (Here's the thread from before so you can see if your GLO is one of those that Russell thinks isn't being "proactive."

and just as a side note, I know a tad-bit more about this campus than you realize, and I'm still calling BS prestige reasons for what Dolphin Chica's group was told.
