Possible / Alleged Hazing: Southern Mississippi Kappa Sigma "Little Sister"

[USM_Order_Girl]

I'm a recent alumni and sorority member from Southern Miss and can tell you that without a doubt every single fraternity on campus knows that Little Sisters aren't allowed but nearly every fraternity on campus has them. I can go down the row and tell you girls from my sorority and others who were little sisters for fraternities (with possibly 2 fraternity exceptions, I dont know much about two of them). My brother was a Kappa Sigma at another school and his wife was one of their little sisters. I have friends at schools all over the country who are little sisters for fraternities or guys whose fraternities have little sisters. Most of the sororities on campus also have "Big Brothers" of some sort, in fact, I can't think of one sorority that doesn't have them. Even if it is concealed in public, I assure you it goes on. It's not isolated and while it might be "against the rules" with IFC and NPC it doesn't seem to be a rule that is very enforced. I myself am a little sister for a fraternity on campus and have appreciated the opportunity to join with girls outside of my own sorority and to have a join effort with the boys when it comes to philanthropic events and parties.

Little Sister night is supposed to be a fun night of being college kids. Of course being a little irresponsible, but in general just having fun. Millions of kids do these types of things every year, with or without greek involvement. Recently, a young woman I knew passed out and died of alcohol poisoning at a random party one night. She had no one to pay attention and realize she needed to go to the hospital. While I agree that it is horrible that these two girls had to go to the hospital thanks to a night of over-indulgence, we can be thankful that it was recognized that help was needed before it was entirely too late.

Thank you, USM_Order_Girl, for sharing your knowledge of campus practices at USM.

In further news, reportedly the woman who was in intensive care has improved enough to be moved to a regular room in the hospital, according to this article:

Probably not the smartest idea airing your business like that...even if you know it isn't allowed.

You're absolutely right.

I would definitely urge you all to consider what happens when someone from your national reads what you've written.

A good rule of thumb is to never post anything on the internet which you wouldn't mind showing to whoever the grand poombah of your organization is.

I've PM'd enough folks here regarding my opinion on this issue, but I won't stop anyone from outing their own chapters. Darwin.
