That reads like a 2nd grade writing assignment.

"I like the tv show Greek. When I grow up, I want to be in the sorority on Greek. People think the show is bad but I think it's good. I wish real life was like Greek because then we could have parties and have fun."

Oh come on. This is Greek Chat. I didn't call the alpha gams crapola. I said that any organization that says it doesn't haze but then makes their pledges do things like take tests and carry binders and get signatures is crapola.

You're right, I don't know a lot about alpha gam, but I know that my sister is stressed because of the things she has to do to be initiated.

And okay, I like the show Greek, and I think that once in a while it would be cool if we could do silly things like have a party. But is it really necessary to cut me down and say that I write like a 2nd grader?

I like Greek not because of its portrayal of Greek Life but because it's a fun guilty pleasure. Do I REALLY want to be like ZBZs, with Franny and Evan and Casey and drama? Um, no. But it would be kinda cool to have a reputation as smart, classy, but fun girls.

You might want to educate yourself a little bit. I think it's safe to say that a national test prior to initiation is the norm, not the exception, among GLOs. At any rate, it is not uncommon.

It is not hazing; calling it hazing is crapola. Period.

Correct. My sorority has one, as do several other NPCs. It's certainly not uncommon.

As do I.
