If you feel you were hazed, you should call your Headquarters and discuss the situation with someone.

This is the only thing to get from this thread. I didn't read her post because I don't care what happened to her, regardless of what really happened.

This thread is really TMI and she could've gotten her question answered by reading her university and sorority's policies and codes of conduct.

I agree, hence what I said above, you don't need to include all the extraneous info if that's all you want to know/discuss. What you really want is to put your chapter out on the internet as "a bunch of meanies who treated a depressed sister poorly" and have us feel sorry for you and talk about how mean they were, which isn't likely to happen.

They're people just like you and I. They aren't psychologists and probably didn't understand your depression well enough to take it into account when they sent you to standards for whatever you did.

There are 2 sides to every story. For example, how do we know what it is that you politely objected to, or what politely objected even means? For all we know, you could've politely told the sister to go f**k herself. Not saying you did, but that's an example of why it's hard to illicit sympathy via the internet.

ETA: What on earth ever happened to things being private chapter business, particularly those pertaining to standards board/judicial things?

I think it's safe to say











FAIL.

well hazing is "torture" for the purposes of initiating someone. so really i would say that what you went through would be classified as harrassment. But regardless of whether or not the situation has a name, if you felt this strongly about it you probably should have taken your situation to your national board, regional board, or whatever standard protocol is for your org.
