Miss America 2015

[sugar and spice]

The fact that Jezebel actually cited that anonymous source like some kind of authority is so embarrassing. I'm cringing for them. It's stupid enough when normal people are gullible enough to believe hazing stories like that, but when you're a "journalist" (in quotes because, you know, Jezebel) who can't muster up even a shred of doubt when confronted with a story that far-fetched, you need to find a different job.

That said, if she did engage in (far less sensationalized kinds of) hazing to any serious degree--which seems likely if she was kicked out for it--then the calls for her resignation are legit. The idea of a Miss America who engaged in that kind of abuse of pledges makes far more of a mockery of the MAO than a Miss America who taps a cup for her talent.

Not only that, but when someone in the comments called her out on it, she commented back defending herself, saying that "more than one person who was at Hofstra at the same time." Were they roommates who watched the same porn video together and assumed that those things also happen at the real sororities on their campus?
