I totally agree! There is more to this story that is not being publicized.

A 2010 Hofstra graduate who took part in sorority rush, but did not pledge, had a darker tale. The 26-year-old did not know Kazantsev, but attended the school at the same time as her.

“I know there were a few sororities specifically that were known for doing more aggressive hazing practices than others," she said. "Alpha Phi specifically had a mixed reputation--- either [people said] their hazing wasn’t really hazing at all, it was silly and they kind of got made fun of for it [or], on the other side of the spectrum, [people said] they were really aggressive.”

She said generally at Hofstra, the sororities limited hazing to “mental abuse,” but sometimes things got physical.

“A lot of the sororities are known for doing branding…I don’t know if Alpha Phi did it. One sorority [not Alpha Phi] would use a fork and heat it and [burn it into students’ skin to leave a scar]. It was usually right before they got in,” she revealed. “That specific practice (branding) was kind of common.”

Under Kazantsev’s direction as head of recruitment for the Alpha Phi sorority at the Hempstead, L.I., college, pledges were put through a ringer of abuse and belittling, the source said. Recruits were called foul names, berated for physical imperfections, and forced to perform tasks that left some exhausted and bruised, the source told the website. When Hofstra University was tipped off about the “dirty pledging” that Kazantsev and her best friend, a sorority sister, were up to, officials launched an investigation.

Kazantsev said on Tuesday she was ultimately booted in April 2013 for a joke, “taken out of context” and forwarded to the Alpha Phi national office, that she’d made in an email.
