Worst Hazing Stories ever heard about.

[MysticCat]

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.
