my new sorority hazes

[atsgirl]

You know, I feel stupid, I should have known... after all our "Rush" was held at a fraternity party with alcohol flowing freely... I have friends that are in national sororities at other schools (I am pledging a local) that have told me that isn't supposed to happen.

I really like (most of) the girls, but after our pledge induction the other night I don't want to go through anything like that anymore. We were forced to drink as a punishment for not completing a task (well, I wasn't because I had to drive, but all the other girls were) and made to do humiliating things in public. I know it's no big horror story, but it made me really upset.

I was told when I decided to pledge that there would be no hazing, and I believed it. I get along well with the pledge chair, and she's actually the one that talked some of the other girls out of making me drink.

So here's what it comes down to: my school is very small and only has two sororities...the local I'm pledging and an NPC sorority. Therefore, both of the rushes were held seperately, and at the same times. I (obviously) went to the one for the local, because I met them first and got along with the pledge chair. I still want to join a sorority, but I don't know if because I have started pledging the local, if I can join the national. Or if I'll have to wait until next year. I haven't de-pledged the local yet either... I don't know what to say to them, because I don't want to hurt the feelings of the girls I like. Part of me wants to stick it out and change things from the inside. I don't know what to do.
