Worst Hazing Stories ever heard about.

LOL, well, I'm not going to say who this came from, but that person would not tell me if they didn't believe it themselves. I feel like although stories like this are probably not exactly true some variation probably is, otherwise why are people still talking about it?

Did I tell you about the time my cousin's friend was babysitting? She had put the kids to bed and was watching TV, and then the phone rang. She answered it and this guy just laughed kind of creepy and asked if she'd checked on the kids lately. She hung up on him, but he kept calling back, until finally she called the phone company. The operator said if he called back, to try to keep him talking so they could trace the call. He did call back and she tried to keep him talking, until all of a sudden the operator cut into the call and said "Get out of the house NOW! He's upstairs!" Turns out he had already killed the kids.


Please tell me you have more sense that to seriously wonder why people still talk about stories like this. Urban legends take on lives of their own.

I think your scenario is a little off base, but we cannot ignore the fact that many PNMs are willing to do whatever it takes to become a part of their preference organization. When we are talking about
-eating food off of the floor
-putting a banana in your vagina
-"get with" bros
-picking up an olive with your butt checks and walking across the room w/o dropping it and if you do you have to eat it! lol (this is from my bf's dad who is an alum of an IFC)
-laying in the snow in your underwear while the actives drip cold water on your forehead and ask you questions about info
And the list goes on. So IMO, I do not find it hard to believe that some active members take advantage of the willingness of PNM and push the limits. I also think that hazing breeds hazers. If I had to do this, the next line will have to do this and probable more, in order to prove themselves to me.

Has hazing happened and does it happen? Sure! Is some hazing that has happened and does happen disgusting? Sure!

But basically, you've repeated third-hand a hazing story that many of us know to be a Greek urban legend from way back, and you defend it with "although stories like this are probably not exactly true some variation probably is, otherwise why are people still talking about it?" (And that was the point of my scenario -- untrue stories that nevertheless get told in some form for decades. It happens all the time.)

Bottom line: If you don't have personal, first-hand knowledge of it, then you don't know whether it really happened, whether something happened that got mangled in the retelling, whether friend's friend used it as excuse (and as revenge) when when she was dropped by the sorority, whether urban legend was getting passed along, or whether . . . well, you get the idea.
