Look...I'm not saying that every single women out there is stupid when (or because) she pledged. What I am saying however is hazing is real...and it comes in all forms. Many think hazing is simply being harmed physically. What about mentally? What about be yelled at as if your a child? What about having to stay up all night even if you have class the next day? What about being told not to speak to other people, or not to look at other sorors, or even be able to go to the bathroom when you need to? For many people..that's just being on line. For others, that's abuse. Where is the line drawn? Do chapters take the time to find out what their pledges limits are? I personally knew of a young woman who had been verbally abused as a child. While on line she nearly had a nervous breakdown because the women kept getting in her face and yelling at her. And though the organization would have truly benefited from her being a member (she was carrying a 4.0 gpa, was a star soccer player, and a classical pianist), she couldn't hack it and dropped line. It was not only a terrible experience for her, but a great loss for the sorority!
