I thought you were talking about me for a second...
I don't know if it happens or not. It's a rumor (and a rather gross one)...I think every campus has a fraternity that's rumored to do the Elephant Walk.

Did you name yourself after a gross "rumor" (it isn't just a rumor, though) or were you thinking about the other types of elephant walks?

Gross hazing rumor.
I could go by "munting" but it's not Greek-related.

Yeah I think at every school there is always "that fraternity" that is rumored to do the elephant walk. Here it's Pike.
But I doubt that it happens on my campus. That kind of stupid, pointless hazing doesn't happen here, that I know of.

The reason the rumor is around is for shock value, honestly.
Someone will say to a freshman "those guys do the elephant walk, you don't wanna hang out with them" Then, the freshman asks what an elephant walk is. After being shocked he repeats it to all his buddies cuz of the novelty of it. And thus it continues to the next year.

That's really cool. I looked on their national website for that info and overlooked it. I've now found how I overlooked it there because I followed Wikipedia's citations. 
(I always look for Wiki's sources.)

There you have what? The joke of changing people's quotes to make them sound gay that is popular on a handful of other "Greek sites" and was meant to be an inside joke here?
If so then yes, there you have it.

Relax.
Despite your "joke," some people are intrigued by the existence of the elephant walk. And if chapters are going to haze, there's nothing barring them from also trying the elephant walk.
Seriously, with hundreds of chapters of over a dozen fraternities, why's it so hard for people to get that they don't know what every chapter of their fraternity, and certainly other fraternities, is or isn't doing?

Except for...perhaps a complete and utter disgust of homosexuality?
