I can not imagine how a chapter could be totally shut down for blindfolding pledges during initiation.

I assume she meant during pledging. Most initiations use blindfolds, as the freemasons did as well, which is where the root of most come from.

Because you've been through how many initiations?

To the OP, I'm sorry for your experience, but no, there's no way to get around the initiation rule. You should try to make the best of a bad situation, and become active in an alumnae group. Don't select your next school simply because they have a chapter of your sorority.

Yeah - that might have been a straw that broke the camel's back type of deal, or the OP is lying.

That was one of Mark Twain's dumbest quotes.
