I'm so sorry that was your experience. That is NOT what Greek Life is about, and if you have not yet, please turn them in to your Greek Conduct Board or Office of Greek Life at your school.Every chapter will say "we don't haze" when you ask because that's not something they advertise. I dropped from pledging because they hazed (6 of the 7 girls pledging dropped). A lot of it is "you have to be out of your dorm and on campus all day" they say it helps you build social skills, and "give us a schedule do your day the night before by X o'clock" and "knock on the door at exactly then and if you're late there's a penalty." You need to go in to it knowing what you're getting into. I was yelled at, had to stand in a line with my pledge class with arms linked up (it's pledge bonding is the reasoning),had to put up a banner on the wall and stare at that the whole hour or so we had to stand in the line and get yelled at, the year before's class had Crisco dumped on their heads one night, you have to hang out with every sister at least once a week (because you have to get to know your sisters...) This is just a bit of what goes on, I dropped the night we were told we had to make a cinderblock into a person to being with us to line up every night but bring it in a suitcase... I was contemplating where the hell I would get a suitcase without spending any more money because oh the night before was scavenger hunt night and we were given $20 for about $100 worth of stuff... The money spent (during MY pledging process)and the stress was just not worth it for me. I dropped and our pledge mom sucked so much she didn't even try to make me stay it was like "fine bye" like no you are supposed to want more new people in your sorority... Anyway not every one will be that way but I guarantee if you ask someone if they haze (while you are looking into pledging at your school) they will say "oh no we don't haze."

I went to a large SEC school, and when they say they do not haze, they mean it. I was never hazed and neither was anyone in my chapter. Anti-hazing chapters DO exist.
