<p>Even though there are rules against hazing, I've heard some bad stories about girls I know in college who were recently hazed...and lets just say I'm scared because these stories were not pretty...</p>
<p>Anyone know of sororities at certain schools that absolutely do not haze? Let's make a list because I know I'm not the only one who's apprehensive about joining a sorority.</p>
<p>99% of sorority chapters that are part of the 26 members of the National Panhellenic Conference will not haze. I can literally promise you that, and I'll put a $1000 on it that you won't get hazed if you join one of those chapters. The issue lies with independent/local sororities that some schools have. These organizations lack the oversight that comes with being part of a National organization. Local sororities are MUCH, MUCH more likely to haze because of this.</p>

<p>Even among NPC sorrorities, many will haze. There is no "house X never hazes anywhere". And just listing random houses at every school seems pretty pointless. Your best bet is to ask around in campus.</p>
<p>Also consider the definition of hazing. In some states, or at some schools, they classify being forced to wear a pledge pin as hazing. But truth be told, no reasonable person ought to agree.</p>
<p>While I agree that some definitions of hazing are ridiculous, I have yet to meet any NPC sorority woman (and I've met a great many from numerous different campuses) who would endorse that they had anything happen to them as new members that could ever be construed as hazing. In my experience the sororities were so anxious to make sure that they didn't haze, they made decisions which were detrimental to their members or new members (ie, they won't put together required study hours for their new members because they wouldn't make the older members do it so everything ends up being optional).</p>
<p>What I have found from friends who are in sororities is that they were never hazed directly, but that sorority life was a process about inclusion and exclusion based on random things.</p>
<p>DHRBC07: Could you be a little more specific? Can you give an example of a 'random thing'? I mean, obviously there are certain events/resources/opportunities that are only for members (but this is true of any group, otherwise there would be no point in joining).</p>
<p>not saying which organization but the npc sorority that i was trying to be a member of definitely hazed. that is why i left and did not go through with the process…</p>
