I can say with 100% certainty that this is not the only illegal thing that they do. hazing is illegal also I don't think many people see using a copyrighted character as illegal because they are all over the place these days. It's sad.

That's too bad because being that it's a local organization, if Disney were to ever sue, the school would be just as liable.

I'll say this much: I can't wait till the day when a pledge drops one of the locals there and gets smart and sues the school as well as they dont regulate any of the stuff that goes on in Greek life.

What's ironic is that they claim that they do not haze on their website. False advertising sucks.

Interesting how the Kappa Phi girls have been very quiet lately.

That's a bit too much private info in a public forum, if you ask me.

Oh get off your high horse!

So she hates someone in her chapter. Guess what? So do I! 7 years and counting! And there's another one (not in my chapter) I hate...2 years and counting!

If she listed the person by name, that's another story. Most (if not all) of us are guilty of sharing private info here everyday, so if the girl wants to say that she hates the compulsive liar in her chapter, by all means, LET HER!

She didn't say that SHE hates her, she said the whole chapter hates her. That's the distinction. Yeah, there's chapter sisters I didn't like for whatever reason, but I wouldn't announce that the whole chapter hated them. I'm not 100 percent sure if she's posted her chapter or not, but it could be relatively easy for it to get back to the person she's talking about.

um...

i joined my fraternity because i was thinking of rushing but then cought pnumonia (freshman have to wait until spring semester to pledge) and couldn't and of the three people who came to find me after i hadn't been around in a while (two guys, one girl) one of the guys was pledging and i knew the other one was going to in the fall and I wanted to be their brother since they were mine.

Ended up pledging that fall to the colony, becoming a founding father of the chapter.
