I would hope a chapter wouldn't be disciplined now for things that happened 10 years ago, especially when the source is highly questionable. It didn't ring true IMO and I don't really find Bustle trustworthy in general. If this article had been in The Advocate that would have been another story.

Clickbait...

If they hadn't identified the NPC sorority in the article, I would have been much more certain that it was clickbait. (Not sure if I should identify it here to save those who don't want to click on the article.) I agree that the hazing/drinking is disturbing, but I also don't know under what conditions actions would be taken against a chapter for something which occurred where all of the members at the time have graduated.

Disciplined? I agree they shouldn't be held accountable for stuff that happened 6-10 years ago; but, I would ask a lot of questions about what's going on now. The woman didn't indicate any sense that the behavior was not acceptable. That could lead to an impression that it's ingrained into the chapters sense of normalcy. I would take a second look and question any advisors who came through the chapter during the time period. I don't know the criminal statute for hazing or how far back a member could file a civil lawsuit. I'd want to cover my bases.

That's what I mean about it not ringing true. I feel like she exaggerated certain things (like one line of coke turning into a frisbee-full*) to hammer home the point about how her wife made her a better person. She seems bitter about the sorority (other than her wife) and obviously not thinking of or caring that her stories might have repercussions for others.

*in a FRISBEE? Seriously, what.
