<p>I've heard alot about hazing in colleges and some of them are very extreme. Are these things common?
And are there really those weird kind of sororities you see on movies where the people are dressed in robes?</p>
<p>hazing most often will happen in fraternities…sororities will give you gifts as a pledge haha</p>
<p>there are exceptions though</p>
<p>A lot of sororities and fraternities do haze, and some don’t. The pledges usually will tell you their sorority doesn’t haze even if they do. I know a lot of Greeks and some just got yelled at, the others hinted at an uncomfortable experience… they obviously didn’t disclose everything, though. Good luck!</p>
<p>(as to the robes, they might be a part of some rituals but I haven’t seen/heard of them)</p>
<p>Most colleges don’t allow hazing and are strict in their punishment of it.
For example, at one of the colleges I attended–a frat pledge was hazed and forced to consume large amounts of water non-stop. He eventually died from “internal drowning” (or something like that.)
The fraternity was disbanded, and students expelled. The fraternity still exists in an underground type of way, and has no association with the college, however the college says it will expell students who join the banned fraternity. </p>
<p>That’s an extreme form. If there’s any, which again most colleges heavily frown on, it’s usually light stupid stuff like having to be a current member’s “servant” for a week or wearing something embarrassing around campus. </p>
<p>When I pledged my chapter, there wasn’t any hazing at all. Mostly being involved with their events like socials.</p>
<p>There is no such thing as hazing.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That is untrue.</p>
<p>At my school, I don’t think they’re at all common for any Greek organization. There might be some fraternities or sororities that haze at other schools, but as PlattsburghLoser said, the chapters that do and are caught will be put on probation or disbanded.</p>
<p>" There is no such thing as hazing. "</p>
<p>truth</p>
<p>evolution is also false</p>
<p>Depends on your organization too. Panhellenics and IFCs are a lot more strict about hazing, whereas MGC and AGC (Multicultural and Asian) Greek Councils are not. And that’s where the bulk of the hazing happens.</p>
<p>I know because I joined a sorority my freshman year and… well, I was told they didn’t haze. Hahahahahahaha.</p>
<p>A sorority at my college (Rutgers) got in trouble last year for hazing. I think some people had to go to the emergency room.</p>
