There's no need for hazing to continue. Despite popular belief, it is not a right of passage. I can proudly say that I was not hazed, and I don't feel like any less of a sister because of that. If anything, I feel better about being part of an organization where I am valued and respected.

Realistically, I'm probably not the only girl out of the 285,543 members of a Panhellenic organization who had no idea what a sorority was -- let alone what recruitment was or how to go about it.

Gregory S. Parks

On one hand, you have BGLO members who believe that there has been great continuity with regard to pledging (they often make a theoretical distinction between it and hazing)--that it has remained constant and consistent over the generations and should remain so.

Hazing Confessions of a Dartmouth Alum

Ravital Segal | Posted 06.09.2012 | College
Ravital Segal

There is much in the recent Rolling Stone hazing exposƩ that I find to be true. In particular, I am struck by the author's musing that a student might die one day as a result of hazing. His sentiment gave me pause. Because I was very nearly that death.

Kelly Valen

It's been more than twenty years since I graduated from college but some things, I'm told, haven't much changed, particularly when it comes to issues of humanity and how we treat one another in the day to day -- you know, the basics we all should have mastered in kindergarten.
