I was wondering this today, Is/was anyone on here involved in greek life at college(fraternities and sororities)? I'm a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon on my campus.

I just thought this would be neat bc you never know who'll you'll run across that's a brother or a sister.

SAE got kicked off our campus for a hazing incident just last year- we were paired with them for homecoming my senior year though.

I graduated in 2004 and was (ok, IS- it's fo life!) a Delta Gamma.

Going greek was one of the best decisions I ever made!

Yeah, that's a shame. Too bad almost everything is considered hazing though. In the state of Illinois sending anyone on a scavenger hunt is considered hazing. that's just an example though. I agree that going greek has been the best decision that i've ever made!

Hadn't seen this since I posted.

Yeah, my sorority has really strict rules about hazing- the scavenger hunt is on the list, but also taking a girl out to breakfast could be considered "eating on command" so we officially can't do that either :roll:

At our SAE after an event where pledges were forced to drink large amounts of alcohol (my BF was a pledgemaster at a different fraternity so I'm sure there was more to it than just drinking) a pledge lost his ear falling down a stairwell.... so no, it wasn't exactly a scavenger hunt!
