I didn't know Idaho had a problem with hazing. You seem to be a little too paranoid. Sororities, in general, do not have a real big problem with hazing at this time. The risk is too great and most Nationals have a zero tolerance for this type behavior. I suggest you not join a sorority as you seem way too weak.

I think that VandalSquirrel might be able to clarify if she is still around.

There is another poster here who is a current collegiate member, I'm an alumna, but still in the vicinity. If there were hazing issues on this campus they'd be all over the news, and I know the student media paper would print any incidents. Do we have risk management issues, yes, as do all colleges and even people aged 18-22 all over the US and Canada. In regards to fraternities ahve I seen behavior i find borderline with my NPC lens? Yes, and there have been groups who have addressed issues that were crossing the line and handled them internally before it became a huge issue and people were filing law suits or dying.

If there was a group hazing at UI they'd be exposed and handled with a quickness, and in my time here I have never heard of nor seen sorority hazing. Trust this is a small campus and it wouldn't be kept a secret. Not to slam my nearby neighbors at Wazzu, but they have had sorority issues with hazing, not us. You can call the Dean of Students Office, Bruce Pitman would be happy to talk to you and I'm sure they'd transfer you to the newish (as of last summer) Greek Advisor, Matt Kurz, as well. You can reach both of their offices at 208-885-6757 bruce Pitman at askjoe@uidaho.edu or greek@uidaho.edu

I am refraining from saying anything else other than GO VANDALS!
