Highschool Hazing!!?!!!

[ZetaLuvBunny]

Until a couple of months ago, I didn't realize that what went on when I was in marching band was considered hazing (we were forced to dress up in embarrassing costumes by the older kids, forced to bring meals to them, sing and dance to silly songs in front of everyone, etc). None of that even comes close to what one of my sisters told me about her high school hazing experiences, though:

One of my sisters told me a few days ago that she had been in a high school sorority. They hazed really badly, aparently. The old members had forced the pledges to steal answer-books and tests from teachers so that the old members could cheat on homework and tests. They also forced them to come to school in bikinis (this, in a school with a strict DRESS-CODE) in the middle of WINTER, knowing that parents would be called and they would be sent home from school immediatly. If their parents asked them why they did that, they were not allowed to mention that they had been forced to by the sorority, and if they were caught stealing tests and such they also had to keep quiet.

One girl was even forced to go on a date with a guy who was well-known for being a player, and she was almost raped!!! Apparently, the sisters had told the guy that she wanted someone to lose her virginity with, knowing that he would go for it. The parents of this girl tried to get the school to shut down the sororities and fraternities, but lost, because the school claimed "it could have happened to anyone, regardless of affiliation with school clubs."

Doesn't that make you want to just slap the school board?!? My sister told me she was extremely glad that no hazing has happened in Zeta, and never will. I'm surprised that after that experience, she wasn't afraid to join the college Greek system. I just think that, overall, high school kids are too immature to handle Greek life the way it was meant to be. I haven't heard any positive stories about high school Greeks yet, but if they had more supervision perhaps they'd be better.

Does anyone else have a similar story? I hear that also a lot of hazing goes on in athletic teams and such as well.
