Worst Hazing Stories ever heard about.

[Cheerio]

No one has mentioned intentional mental hazing. It takes a toll on a chapter.

Initiated member(s), intentionally and continuously giving incorrect/unkind information to their own new members/pledges, can leave NM feeling left out, confused, unwanted. As examples:

Initiated Officer (I.O.) gives new members her incorrect phone number, stating she is "there for you always" but leaving a funny feeling in NM minds when they get the wrong person on the other end of the line (I.O. never does give out a corrected number).

I.O. tells NM to attend Derby Days at Lake Sunshine 2pm Saturday; in reality NM should have been at Sigma Chi parking lot for Derby Days @10am Saturday.

I.O. tells NM there are six beds opening for NM in the house Spring semester--deposit your rent checks now!--when in fact there are no such openings and the whole second floor of the house is being closed Spring semester for repairs to the roof/attic.

I.O., in a serious tone at a NM meeting, mentions someone in NM class is spreading rumors the Chapter President is a lesbian.

Due to this and many other unkind examples a NM class shrank by 40% over the course of a semester. COB the next semester brought a large class, with the same shrinkage result.

This sounds like the chapter was forced to bid members they didn't want to increase numbers and this was the only way to fight back against their national, their advisor or whoever was behind it. Obviously a sorority wasn't going to shoot themselves in the foot with ALL the new members (i.e. I'm sure the pledges that they actually wanted to be there were told the correct date and time for Derby Daze).
