A rather sadly odd hazing at Univ. of Conn.

I've heard of and personally witnessed another fraternity hazing sorority new members. This was about 10 years ago, so I have no idea if it's still going on, but back then, it definitely was.

I simply can't understand why this still goes on. It's a huge recipe for disaster... I'm thinking potential for physical/sexual abuse charges. I don't know if it's happened, but both chapters open themselves up to be put in really unfortunate situations.

ETA: Plus, keeping hazing hush hush is hard enough within one chapter. Why add another and double your chances of getting caught?

And I'm not condoning hazing... it just seems that a chapter that's doing something illegal and wanting to keep it secret would try a little harder to do so.

Although I do not have first hand knowledge, I have heard of this kind of hazing which was as far as I can tell for the amusement of the frat boys. The lead in started with an innocent if goofy game, but then the girls who lost had to drink. Stuff that someone might not do to impress another girl would thus seem reasonable. The requested tasks then escalated once the girls started drinking. The boys would then in turn help with smearing sororities (labeling the "WRC" groups) where girls refused to participate.
