I'm not saying I condone hazing. Maybe it is because I spent time in the military but, some of the things in the story did not seem bad enough to warrant her reaction. The fact that we are not allowed to let new members go on scavenger hunts shows that we (Greek Life) has gotten a bit soft. Those are the things many people cherish.
She said it bothered her to see Phi Mus wearing letters but was that the crux of her PTSD?

A lot of Greeks say that Greek Life has gotten a bit soft but (as I've probably said in a couple of threads today ) it got soft for what was considered a good reason. For every cherished and harmless scavenger hunt, there are chapters that will have a scavenger hunt with an added twist that was added for a number of potentially harmful reasons.

No, there were other symptoms described in the book, she was having flashbacks and night terrors as well as hyperalertness, and avoiding talking about/being around triggers. I could probably diagnose from the symptoms provided (not that I would.)

And co-sign your scavenger hunt comment.
