MTV and Sororities

[SIGMA_INSIDER]

(MAGGIEAXID) sigma-insider, i still don't know why you think you know so much about sigma if you aren't one. you can not say they hazed or did not haze if you are not a member, can you? are you some kind of phantom that watched these girls every second and know everything that goes on? do you know their ritual?

fine, you want to define hazing. i'll give you the definition used on my campus....in accordance to NPC, IFC and local government guidelines..."hazing can be defined as being emotionally, physically, and psychologically battered...." maybe only in north carolina, they would consider a "pledge" (which according to NPC guidelines is considered hazing because it is a derogatory name) or "new member" (which is the correct term) was hazed if that person said "Having to relive childhood experiences - having to dig up old memories because you're reminded by their cruelty. You know how mean kids can be? It was like [it was] happening all over again - having to relive it" ...no where did she say anything about a fight between other people, and i do believe the question was "what the worst thing about PLEDGING"

Actually, I do know enough about the character of the girls in SigmaAEPi and have seen enough of what goes on to know that no hazing ever takes place. Jordan and Mara have reasons for such comments. They were involved in a situation which took place near the end of rush. However, their view is quite different from the view of others in Sigma and other PNMs. If one were to take their emotion-laden comments as fact without considering alternatives, one would have a very skewed interpretation of what it is like to pledge SigmaAEPi. Perhaps MTV will also take the 2 PNMs view and run with it. So be it. I suggest you check you http://www.realsororitylife.com to check the facts and maybe see "the situation," if it arises, in a different light. I'm talking so far into the future, but I guess I have been forced to in order to try and explain myself a little more. I'm sorry for still being so vague, but I don't know how wise it would be to devulge more specific details. Besides, you wouldn't want me to ruin the ending, would you?

After reviewing maggieaxid's posting again:

• I apologize for not knowing the correct terminology because no, I am not Greek (neither ethnically nor it terms of being involved in the Greek system)
• No I do not know their rituals, but I do know that none of them include being "emotionally, physically, and psychologically battered." (see first line, re: "character")
  
• lol, "are you even greek?" ..... is it bad not to be? I think I'm still allowed to talk if I'm not, just checking though.
