Susan

That was pretty harsh.

As my German teacher says, "The only stupid questions are the ones that you don't ask" If someone in a position of authority (i.e. a teacher) tells you something like this, you would undoubtedly be confused. Be glad she asked about potential hazing rather than just simply believing it. With all the negative media out there (i.e. tv movies, magazine articles, et cetera), she has a right to have some questions. Cheers to the board in general for taking her seriously and answering her questions.

THANK YOU CHLOE!!! I mean really, who would ask a question like mine if I weren't absolutely serious about it. I just didn't want to be humiliated at a rush if this is what went on, but you two people have succeeded on making me feel almost as bad...good job pals!

And Yes Susan, I did honestly believe that this could possibly happen b/c i kind of believe things that my teachers tell me! Sorry if you can't relate.

Tara,

I think you've been dragged through the mud enough.

It's just that the story is so incredible that members of modern Greek Letter Organizations find it hard to comprehend that anyone would believe it. After some of the people who have posted some really bizarre things, we are very wary of being "set up."

Please be assured that nobody who pledges a ligitimate national sorority will be subjected to behavior like that. Hazing is illegal and ALL Greek organizations I'm aware of have banned it.

Good luck with the rest of your schooling.

DeltAlum

I'd like to echo deltalum--he put it very well.

I'd also like to say, it sure says a lot about that teacher. Not only to TELL you a rediculous story like this, but to practically admit that she took part in it. And we wonder why public schools are so messed up? Teachers like that should be fired.

Exactly! I left that school and am currently attending a private Christian school. I actually think that tha teacher left the school the year after I left. Just F.Y.I.

What does her teacher being loony have to do with a public school?

mgdzkm433 · #23 03-13-2001, 05:12 PM

Well, I personally think it's inappropriate for an adult teacher to be telling a student about giving head to men. Teachers shouldn't be telling stories like that to students. I think it's a bad influence and a black mark on the public school system when teachers like this are allowed to teach. I personally have nothing AGAINST the public school system, my fiance is a high school teacher and I had a great experience in public schools, but I think teachers like this are slowly turning public schooling into a mochary. I can see the motto now: "Send your kids to public school, not only will they learn reading, writing, and arithmatic, but they'll learn to give head too!" I think the screening process for teachers should be more strict. In the state I live in, they're debating on whether or not to make teachers give fingerprints before being hired. I think it's a good idea. IMHO.

HeidiHo · #24 03-14-2001, 05:02 PM

I agree with a better screening process for teachers, I just didn't know why it was assumed to be a public school to begin with. TaraHopeful never said anything about the type of school until she responded to the comment on public schools being messed up. There are people like her band teacher everwhere. Public, private, rich, poor, city, rural...You can't assume anything anymore.
We've gotten way off topic now.

Tara, she was BSing you. I like your name by the way.

TaraHopeful · #26 03-18-2001, 06:01 PM

Ya, i have had that confirmed by about 50 people on here...

Thanks for the compliment Billy!

You may not sympathize with me, but I'm glad that you seem to encounter exactly the same problems in the US as we do in Germany, viz a pretty bad reputation...

Okay, I hope you're not referring to this problem as the one Tara brought up because it is not a common occurence.

Billy Optimist · #29 03-20-2001, 02:01 AM

Tara, anytime.

Nah, i think he meant that the bad rep thing was common.

Exactly. Unfortunately we are said to be a nationalist, sexist, alcohol abusing and elitist bunch of people who'd fail in everyday life if they didn't have their fraternity. That's what they say in Germany, mind you. Although, the things you seem to refer to as 'hazing' have never been practiced over here. And I don't believe most of the stories I hear from the US because it's probably hard enough to get new members anyway. So why would you give them additional reasons to stay away?

A.K. Z! x
