As an alum of Hofstra, I get to speak on this. The locals at Hofstra have always gotten away with stuff that nationals would never dream of. The locals have been around since 1930s, some affiiliated with NPC groups and kept their "traditions" and some even got caught/shut down for a while. I was a chapter founder and 1/2 my group were women who had depledged the locals and felt hazing was not what they were about.
As for this story, none of us will ever know. Is Phi Ep's pledge program the hardest at Hofstra? Yes, probably. My chapter competes directly in recruitment with Phi Ep. Women often go to both prefs. Is Phi Ep strong and puts out many greek leaders, yes. Do they make women chant in the cafeteria, keep them up all night and treat them like less than equals then welcome them with open arms after Hell Night? Probably.
Do they brand? Sounds like a myth but you never know.
The story will play out, the girl will likely transfer somewhere where this will eventually go away. Nothing is going to change at Hofstra with these locals.
Those alums give $$ to the university.
